Myth 1: “Shilajit is only for men.”

Not true. Both historically and today, Shilajit has been used to support women’s health and vitality. In Ayurveda, this mineral-rich resin was often used to restore strength after illness, seasonal change, or childbirth. Modern formulations now combine Shilajit with female-focused botanicals like shatavari or saffron, making it perfectly suited to women’s nutrient and hormonal needs. Its core benefits are energy support, mineral replenishment, and recovery, relevant to everyone.

Myth 2: “It disrupts female hormones.”

Quite the opposite. When purified and used correctly, Shilajit doesn’t interfere with hormones, it helps your body work more efficiently. Thanks to its fulvic acid complex, it supports cellular function and nutrient transport, which is why you’ll often see it paired with adaptogens in women’s wellness blends.

Myth 3: “It’s too harsh for daily use.”

Unprocessed Shilajit can contain impurities. But when properly purified and lab-tested, Shilajit is safe for daily use in micro-doses. At BetterAlt, we make it easy with formats like honey sticks, capsules, and gummies which are pre-measured, consistent, and convenient. Always look for brands that offer contaminant testing, fulvic acid standardisation, and clear usage guidelines.

Myth 4: “You can’t take Shilajit in summer.”

Many assume Shilajit creates ‘heat’ in the body, but in reality, it can be used year-round. The key is dosage. Taken as recommended, it supports steady energy, recovery, and wellness no matter the season. Natural supplements for women like Shilajit are designed for all-weather balance and consistency.

Myth 5: “It tastes awful, so you won’t stick with it.”

The old resin form can be intense, yes. But modern formats have changed everything. From flavoured honey sticks to gummies and drops, today’s Shilajit is easy (and even enjoyable) to take. And that matters, because the benefits are better energy, improved nutrient absorption, and quicker recovery, come with consistent use.

The Bottom Line

For too long, misconceptions have kept women from experiencing one of nature’s most nutrient-dense Ayurvedic remedies. The truth? When it’s purified, properly dosed, and paired with smart botanicals, Shilajit is safe, effective, and incredibly powerful for women’s health.
