What is Youtheory Shilajit?
Shilajit is a mineral-rich resin that has been used traditionally in Ayurvedic practice. Youtheory uses PrimaVie, a purified shilajit extract that you will also see in several other brands, so it is easy to compare. The brand positions the product around energy and fatigue, and describes Himalayan shilajit as delivering antioxidants that help fight free radicals and oxidative stress. As with any supplement, results vary from person to person.

Reading the label
The label lists the origin as India and says the product is made in a facility that processes fish and eggs, so it suits some dietary needs better than others. It contains PrimaVie at 500 mg per two-capsule serving with no added herbs, and the bottle holds 30 servings. The brand advises not exceeding the recommended daily intake. Comparing the other ingredients, such as croscarmellose sodium and magnesium stearate, can help you choose between different PrimaVie capsules.
How it can fit into your routine
The suggested use for adults is two capsules per day with a glass of water. Linking it to something you already do each day, such as breakfast, helps make it a habit. One bottle lasts around 30 days at that amount. If you are comparing PrimaVie capsules, you may also like Solaray Men's Shilajit or Nature's Answer Himalayan Shilajit, which both offer 500 mg per 2 capsule serving. It is a good idea to compare the other ingredients and allergen statements as well as the strength.
Suggested use
