Shilajit has read?
Tarlic resin found in the Himalayas has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries and has recently been making the rounds on TikTok. Known to some as the “Healer of All Weaknesses,” die-hard believers claim the supplement can boost energy, clear skin, reduce anxiety, and boost testosterone.
Shilajit is developed from the slow decomposition of plants at high altitudes and contains 87 minerals. In its raw or raw form, shilajit may contain free radicals, fungi, heavy metals and other pollutants. Because shilajit is considered an herbal supplement, the Food and Drug Administration does not monitor it for quality, purity, or efficacy.
Shilajit is available in liquid, powder or gum form. If you choose the liquid cure, dissolve a pea-sized dose in a beverage of your choice 1-3 times a day. Powder users add shilajit to milk and enjoy it twice a day.
Experts encourage the curious to research the product and choose a reputable manufacturer.
Read on for some of the risks and benefits associated with this wonderful resin.
It slows Alzheimer’s disease and increases life expectancy
More than 6 million people in the United States and millions more worldwide have Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia. Its known “biomarkers” are amyloid plaques that clog the brain and abnormal tau protein that leads to tangles that kill neurons.
According to Healthline, shilajit contains fulvic acid, a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to prevent the accumulation of tau protein and reduce inflammation. Together, these effects may reduce Alzheimer’s symptoms.
Due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of fulvic acid, it is believed that shilajit can help protect against cell damage and slow down the aging process.
Increase testosterone
Testosterone is a hormone that helps maintain and develop sexual organs, muscle mass, red blood cells and bone density.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, low testosterone affects about 2% of men, with symptoms ranging from depression, body hair loss and reduced libido to erectile dysfunction and low sperm count.
A clinical study found that men who were treated with a dose of shilajit twice a day for 90 consecutive days saw a significant increase in their testosterone levels than those who were given a placebo.oh
Treat male infertility
In conjunction with testosterone, shilajit is used to treat male infertility. In one study, researchers found that 60% of infertile men treated with shilajit showed an increase in total sperm count over a 3-month period.
As a dietary supplement, shilajit has been linked to heart health. The researchers found that mice treated with shilajit before an induced cardiac injury had fewer abnormalities in the heart or major blood vessels than those not treated with the resin.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, is a mysterious disease that c.causes extreme fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, and dizziness lasting at least six months.
Proponents say shilajit may alleviate these symptoms by promoting mitochondrial function. Healthline cites a 2012 study in which lab rats given shilajit for 21 days showed a marked improvement in their energy levels.
Grow as you go
Anemia occurs when the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. The condition occurs when the body lacks or loses iron.
Shilajit supplements are thought to gradually increase iron levels in the body. Via Healthline, a study of lab rats induced with anemia found that those who received shilajit had higher levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit and red blood cells than those who did not.
The Risks
Those with heart disease, sickle cell anemia, hemochromatosis, or thalassemia should not take shilajit.
Even without these conditions, it is possible to have an allergic reaction to shilaj. Stop the supplement if you experience dizziness, flushing, or increased heart rate.
As with all supplements, if you’re considering including shilajit in your wellness routine, talk to a healthcare professional to determine if it’s safe for you.
