Product Information

Shilajit contains high levels of humic acid and iron, which may be helpful in treating iron deficiency anemia. It is important to explore this option with a doctor before taking supplements, however. 4. Antiviral Keller JL, Housh TJ, Hill EC, et al.

DOI: More recently, due to its impressive effect on diabetes, shilajit was included in an herbal supplement known as Diabecon. Another fascinating feature of shilajit is its ability to help reduce the side effects of high-altitude travels. People going from low to high altitude may find it works as a natural way of avoiding “altitude stress.” Nutrition FactsResearch finds that shilajit can be effective in healing and preventing gastric ulcers and reducing the inflammation related to them. One 2021 study demonstrated that it helped alleviate gastric lesions in rats.

In addition, shilajit exhibits anti-epileptic properties and potentially antipsychotic effects, as it adjusts GABA levels (a naturally occurring acid in the brain) to normal. 3. Regulates Hormones and Immune System Researchers think that the fulvic acid in shilajit may stop the abnormal buildup of tau protein and reduce inflammation, potentially improving Alzheimer’s symptoms. However, more research and clinical trials are needed. 2. Low testosterone level The numerous compounds found in shilajit may be helpful for brain function, and may even aid Alzheimer’s therapy. Registered dietitian nutritionist and functional foods expert Christy Brissette gives me the helpful advice to avoid being “the guinea pig” when it comes to taking shilajit. She urges that people wait for evidence before taking unproven supplements. Authentic Shilajit® is a UK based company and we source our Shilajit from the same place as it has been sourced for centuries – the Himalayas.It's possible that some of the biologically active/nutritive elements in shilajit affected you neurologically and/or metabolically,” research reviewer for Examine.com Wyatt Brown told me. “In a recent human trial, a dose of 500 mg/day (but not 250 mg) seemed to help preserve strength in response to fatiguing muscular exercise. This study was funded by a company that makes a patented shilajit product.”

My main concern with shilajit supplements is they can contain heavy metals and other contaminants,” Brissette said. “In Canada, shilajit isn't even sold because of high levels of heavy metals in some of the products that were tested.” Pandit S, Biswas S, Jana U, et al. Clinical evaluation of purified shilajit on testosterone levels in healthy volunteers. Andrologia. 2016;48(5):570-5. doi:10.1111/and.12482 Shilajit may alter the body's hormone levels, including a significant increase in levels of total testosterone. In one clinical study of male volunteers between the ages of 45 and 55, half of the participants were given a placebo and half were given a 250 milligram (mg) dose of purified shilajit twice a day. After 90 consecutive days, the study found that participants receiving purified shilajit had a significantly higher testosterone level compared to the placebo group. 3. Chronic fatigue syndrome

Shilajit was traditionally sourced in India and Tibet, though it is now found in many other countries. By exercising its antioxidant “muscles,” shilajit has been shown to protect the heart against damage resulting from drug-induced injury. A study published in Cardiovascular Toxicology performed on rats found that subjects given shilajit had less lasting damage visible on the heart.
