26 daily packets of fulvic-acid shilajit blended with organic cacao, honey, and hazelnut. Tastes like a sweet hazelnut-cacao treat. Users report noticeable energy lift, especially before workouts. Tree nut allergy warning.
Shilajit shows promise in small human trials for energy, cognitive function, and fertility outcomes, with plausible mechanistic support from fulvic acid and mineral content. However, the evidence base is limited by small sample sizes, heterogeneous study designs, and lack of large-scale RCTs (randomized controlled trials). Most studies are from South Asian institutions and have not been independently replicated in Western cohorts.
Shilajit is a mineral-rich humic substance found in high-altitude rock formations, containing fulvic acid, dibenzo-α-pyrones, and trace minerals. It is proposed to enhance mitochondrial function, increase NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) availability, reduce oxidative stress, and support energy metabolism and cognitive function.

Observational
“Shilajit is claimed as a Vajikarak (aphrodisiac) and used for the treatment of male infertility by traditional healers of the Indian subcontinent.”
“BACKGROUND: Medications, including chemotherapeutic drugs, contribute to male infertility as external factors by inducing oxidative stress in testicular cells.”
“Shilajit is a phyto-mineral diffusion and semi-solid matter used as traditional medicine with extraordinary health benefits.”
Quality and composition of shilajit products vary widely; many commercial preparations are not standardized or authenticated. Few studies control for placebo effects or use blinded designs. Long-term safety data in humans is sparse. The strongest claims (anti-aging, NAD+ boosting) rest primarily on mechanistic reasoning and animal data, not human outcome trials. Contamination with heavy metals has been reported in some samples.
