Anyone else get weird dreams from Shilajit gummies?
Hey all, so I've been taking these shilajit gummies for about a week now and last night I had the most vivid, crazy dreams! Like I was flying through a neon forest and talking to a giant squirrel. It wasn't scary, just super intense. Also I noticed my pee is kind of bright yellow, but I'm not dehydrated or anything. Am I the only one? Is this normal?
Haha, vivid dreams aren't unheard of with shilajit actually. It's rich in fulvic acid and some minerals that can affect neurotransmitters, sometimes making dreams more intense. The bright yellow urine is likely just excess B vitamins if your gummies have those. Totally harmless, but if it bothers you, drink more water. As for the squirrel, that's your brain's fun side! Nothing to worry about.
I've been popping these for a month now and honestly, I haven't noticed any weird dreams, but I do feel more energized during the day. My pee is also bright yellow but I take a B-complex so I'm used to it. I think it's the vitamins. If you dig the dreams, that's a bonus I guess. Just don't take them too late in the day – I've read that can ramp up your brain right before bed.
I'm a vegan and I was excited to try these, but I'm a bit wary of the sourcing. Shilajit is a natural resin, so it's vegan, but make sure it's purified properly to avoid heavy metals. Anyway, I've taken them and my dreams were like I was in a movie! Also, my urine was super bright – I think it's the riboflavin. It's all good. Just a heads-up: check the sugar content in those gummies. Some brands sneak in a lot of added sugar.
Wait, you guys get dreams? I just get the bright pee but no vivid dreams. I'm kinda jealous. I drink like 5 cups of coffee a day so my sleep is kinda messed up. Maybe I should quit coffee for a week and see if the shilajit dreams kick in. Also, my taste buds went a little weird on day two – everything tasted slightly metallic? That went away though.
