Shilajit is believed to have numerous potential health benefits, mainly due to its high concentration of fulvic acid and other minerals. However, clinical research surrounding the effects of Shilajit is limited.
Potential health benefits of Shilajit may include:
- Bone strengthening properties. Research indicates that Shilajit may promote collagen production, improve bone formation and help in the healing of bone fractures.
- Anti-inflammatory effects. In limited studies, fulvic acid has shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body by reducing the release of pro-inflammatory markers. However, additional research is needed to confirm these effects.
- Improved exercise performance. Research suggests Shilajit supplementation may improve maximal muscular strength retention following a physically fatiguing task.
- Cognitive health. Shilajit’s main component of fulvic acid has antioxidant properties that may enhance memory, potentially inhibiting the accumulation of excessive tau protein, a factor associated with Alzheimer’s Disease.
