Why Do Men Use Shilajit?

Hormonal Health

A double blind placebo controlled trial reported that purified Shilajit taken for three months increased total and free testosterone in healthy middle aged men. This is consistent with traditional use for male vitality and may support energy, mood and body composition.

Fertility

In men with low sperm count, processed Shilajit for ninety days improved total sperm count, motility and the proportion of normal forms. Serum testosterone also increased. These outcomes are relevant for natural fertility support.

Energy, Strength and Endurance

By supporting ATP production and improving recovery, Shilajit can help men train harder and feel less fatigued. Studies report better strength retention after fatiguing exercise and improvements in fatigue scores with regular use.

Sexual Wellness

Traditional formulas class Shilajit as a vajikarana which means an aphrodisiac. Modern users often report improved desire and performance over time, likely secondary to better energy and hormonal support.

Metabolic and Heart Health

Preliminary human work has reported favourable changes in lipid profile. Antioxidant effects may support cardiovascular health alongside diet and exercise.
