Clinical Studies on Shilajit

Clinical Studies on Shilajit
Shilajit was written about in the ancient Sushruta Samhita (600 BC), an ancient Ayurvedic text about medicine and surgery. Since then it has been praised as an amazing energy booster, health regulator, rejuvenator and magnifier of vitality. It has been used by Yogis, Ayurvedic Practitioners, Siberian Shamans, Olympic Athletes, and Clinical Doctors all the same. With it's vast array of nutrients and minerals does Shilajit really help with so many things in the body, and is it totally safe? We know it does from our hundreds of customers and our own experience, however the latest scientific research proves it as well! Here are some clinical studies to get you started on your research.

Conclusion: Shilajit is a potent and very safe dietary supplement, potentially able to prevent several diseases, but its main medical application now appears to come from its actions in benefit of cognition and potentially as a dietary supplement to prevent Alzheimer's disease. In essence, this is a nutraceutical product.

Conclusion: These central nervous system active herbs alone or in combination reduced both alcohol dependence and withdrawal thus showing promising anti-addictive potential.
 
Igor A. Schepetkin, Gang Xie, Mark A. Jutila, Mark T. Quinn Phytother Res. Author manuscript; available in PMC 2010 Mar 1
Conclusion: All Shilajit fractions exhibited dose-dependent complement-fixing (disposing of toxins and foreign substances in the body) activity in vitro with high potency. Furthermore, we found a strong correlation between complement-fixing activity and carboxylic group content in the Shilajit fractions and other FA sources. These data provide a molecular basis to explain at least part of the beneficial therapeutic properties of Shilajit and other humic extracts.

Conclusion: It would certainly be helpful to fight against common high-altitude problems like hypoxia, AMS, HAPO, HACE, dehydration, UV radiation etc when taken as a supplement by people ascending to high altitudes. In light of Shilajit's tremendous medicinal potential, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it can be a panacea for all human ailments and Nature's wonderful gift to mankind.

Conclusion: The present investigation demonstrates that Mumiju (Shilajit) could be regarded as a herb with potent therapeutic value in the amelioration of experimental colitis in laboratory animals by modulation of oxidant- antioxidant system.
 
Pandit S, Biswas S, Jana U, De RK, Mukhopadhyay SC, Biswas TK. Andrologia. 2016 Jun
Conclusion: Treatment with Shilajit for consecutive 90 days revealed that it has significantly (P < 0.05) increased total testosterone, free testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS) compared with placebo. Gonadotropic hormones (LH and FSH) levels were well maintained.
