Why Do Women Use Shilajit

Bone Health in Midlife

A controlled study of post menopausal women found that Shilajit reduced markers of inflammation and oxidative stress and helped protect against bone loss over six months. Trace minerals and antioxidant activity are plausible mechanisms.

Energy and Iron Status

Fulvic acid can increase the bioavailability of minerals such as iron. Women prone to low iron may benefit from improved absorption and transport, which can support energy and reduce fatigue. Those with iron overload conditions should avoid Shilajit.

Cognitive Ageing and Mental Clarity

Laboratory work indicates that fulvic acid can interfere with tau aggregation which is relevant to Alzheimer pathology. Women have a higher lifetime risk of Alzheimer disease, so this possible neuroprotective pathway is of particular interest.

Mood, Stress and Sleep

As an adaptogen Shilajit may help normalise stress responses and support calmer mood. Minerals such as magnesium contribute to relaxation and better sleep quality in sensitive individuals.

Hair, Skin and Collagen

Preliminary human data show increases in type I collagen with supplementation, which aligns with traditional use for skin and connective tissue. The antioxidant and mineral profile also supports hair and nail strength.

Product note for readers

Shilajit Gold Plus 12 in 1 capsules provide a balanced blend that many women use for energy, stress resilience and healthy ageing. Shilajit 6 in 1 resin allows flexible dosing for those who prefer traditional preparation.
