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.
Starting dose. 250-500mg — Purified extract
Morning preferred.
Start here. Every protocol below is ordered lowest-first. Begin at the smallest effective dose, hold about a week to assess tolerance, and step up only if needed.
Shilajit's bioactive compound profile drives multiple effects:
Major component (60-80% of purified Shilajit). Antioxidant; mineral chelator that may improve bioavailability of trace minerals.
Mitochondrial CoQ-like activity; supports mitochondrial energy production.
Iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, calcium - bioavailable form via fulvic acid chelation.
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.
Improves sperm count, motility, and morphology in subfertile men.
DBPs and CoQ-like activity support cellular energy.
Days 1-14: subtle subjective effects.
Weeks 4-12: peak benefits.
Long-term continuous use traditional.

Claims we could not support
No abstract we checked supports these for this molecule at this route. That is not the same as saying they are false — it marks where the evidence is missing.
Complete regimen: 250-500mg purified extract via Oral capsule, resin, or powder, 1-2x daily. The verified row supports only the narrower dose/route boundary stated above, not every element of the displayed regimen.
Mechanism: Shilajit's bioactive compound profile drives multiple effects: 1. Fulvic Acid: Major component (60-80% of purified Shilajit). Antioxidant; mineral chelator that may improve bioavailability of trace minerals. 2. DBPs (Dib. No checked live abstract supported this full mechanistic claim at the card's formulation/route without extrapolation.
Primary safety claim: Mild GI. No checked live abstract directly established this as the primary concern for the card's exact formulation and regimen.
