What the research shows.

Double-blind, placebo-controlled RCT of 96 healthy men (aged 45-55). Purified Shilajit (250 mg twice daily) for 90 consecutive days significantly increased total testosterone, free testosterone, and DHEAS (all p<0.05) compared to placebo, while gonadotropic hormones (LH, FSH) remained well maintained.Pandit et al., Andrologia, 2016
Narrative review of Shilajit's pharmacology describing it as a potent and safe dietary supplement composed primarily of fulvic acid. Fulvic acid blocks tau self-aggregation in vitro, suggesting potential for cognitive disorders. The exudate restores energetic balance by supporting mitochondrial electron transport and CoQ10 regeneration.Carrasco-Gallardo et al., International Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2012
