The evidence in words
Safety profile
Purified products are generally tolerated; raw/unpurified shilajit risks heavy-metal (lead, arsenic) contamination. Buy tested product only.
Interactions to respect
No major interactions are on record for Shilajit at typical doses, but tell your clinician about everything you take.
What Shilajit is
Shilajit is an exudate from mountain rocks rich in fulvic acid and trace minerals, used in Ayurveda for vitality.
The honest bottom line
Intriguing early evidence for testosterone and fatigue, but small trials and real contamination risk. If you try it, insist on a purified, third-party-tested source.
