Shilajit gummies: candy or supplement?
I just bought a bottle of Shilajit gummies and I'm kinda shocked at the sugar content. 4g per serving? That's practically candy. I thought we were supposed to be getting a natural mineral supplement, not a sugar rush. Why can't they just make a plain capsule? This candy-fication trend is ruining supplements.
I get where you're coming from, but tbh some of us need the convenience. I travel a lot for work and gummies are easy to toss in my bag. I'm not gonna carry a jar of resin around. Also, 4g of sugar isn't THAT bad—it's less than a half a soda. And it helps me actually remember to take them. Different strokes I guess.
From a medical perspective, I'm with IndigoIris. Chronic sugar intake can be problematic, even in small amounts. But I also see Noah's point. I think the issue is that manufacturers are adding sugar to make them palatable, but it dilutes the purity. Maybe we need to push for sugar-free alternatives? Or just stick with the traditional extract.
I'd love a sugar-free option. And no, Noah, it's not just about the grams—it's about the message. Supplements should be about health, not taste. Next thing you know they'll be making shilajit popsicles. I'll probably return these and get the raw resin. Thanks for the convo, guys.
Fair point, Iris. I might try the resin too, just for home use. But until they make a gummy without the sugar, I'll keep buying these for my travel stash. Convenience wins for me in a pinch. Maybe we'll see better options in the future.
