What got worse for some people
In their own words
“I've noticed the same effect with Shilajit and Fulvic Ionic Minerals. They all seem to 'hit that spot' where the damage seems to have occurred.”
“I can definitely say shilajit gives me a subtle boost in feelings of wellbeing and energy. And I can say it positively improves the appearance of my skin too.”
“Just from Shilajit, I get a nice mood boost, energy for exercise, and something I get from no other noot or supplement - motivation to get things done.”
“Now, after taking Shilajit at 750mg daily, I have felt better almost every day. I would say I didn't truly feel the difference until 3-4 weeks in.”
“I suggest trying Shilajit first...Shilajit always seems to slap for almost everyone. A lot of people report problems with tongkat (I didn't respond well to it)”
