Shilajit
Asphaltum · Mineral Pitch
Shilajit is a sticky, tar-like substance that exudes from rock fissures in the Himalayas, Altai, Caucasus, and Andes mountains. It's formed over centuries from decomposed plant material under high pressure. Active compounds include fulvic acid (60-80% of purified Shilajit), humic acid, dibenzo-α-pyrones (DBPs), trace minerals (iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, copper), and various antioxidants.
Morning preferred.

How it works
Shilajit's bioactive compound profile drives multiple effects:
Fulvic Acid
Major component (60-80% of purified Shilajit). Antioxidant; mineral chelator that may improve bioavailability of trace minerals.
DBPs (Dibenzo-α-Pyrones)
Mitochondrial CoQ-like activity; supports mitochondrial energy production.
Trace Minerals
Iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, calcium - bioavailable form via fulvic acid chelation.
T Support Mechanism
Clinical trials show 12-20% serum T increase in older men over 90 days. Mechanism unclear - may involve hypothalamic-pituitary modulation, antioxidant protection of testicular function, or mineral support.
Sperm Parameters
Improves sperm count, motility, and morphology in subfertile men.
Mitochondrial Bioenergetics
DBPs and CoQ-like activity support cellular energy.
What to expect
Days 1-14: subtle subjective effects.
Weeks 4-12: peak benefits.
Long-term continuous use traditional.
