Shilajit and Erectile Dysfunction: What the Evidence Says

In short: Shilajit is not Viagra and should not be used to treat erectile dysfunction, low libido or any sexual-health condition.

What the evidence supports

No human clinical evidence establishes Shilajit as a treatment for erectile dysfunction or as a substitute for prescribed care. A study reporting hormone measurements for one purified Shilajit preparation did not establish treatment of erectile dysfunction, improved libido or a sexual-performance outcome.

Why the comparison is misleading

Sildenafil is a medicine used for erectile dysfunction. A food supplement should not be presented as an equivalent, a “natural Viagra” or a replacement for medical assessment and treatment.

When to seek advice

Occasional erection problems can have many causes. If they keep happening, speak to a GP or sexual-health clinic; persistent problems can be linked to treatable health conditions. Do not stop or change prescribed medication because of a supplement.

Product and laboratory-report context

Published laboratory reports can help a customer review a submitted product sample. They do not demonstrate sexual-health effects, universal safety or suitability for an individual. See the laboratory testing page for report context.
