Can Shilajit Increase Testosterone Levels Naturally?

Question

I’ve read that shilajit is often used to enhance stamina and vitality, but I’m particularly curious about its effects on hormone levels. Can shilajit increase testosterone levels naturally, and if so, how does it work?

From what I’ve read, shilajit contains fulvic acid and minerals that help improve energy production and support hormonal balance. Does this mean it can directly stimulate testosterone production, or does it work indirectly by reducing stress and improving overall health? Are there any scientific studies or evidence backing this claim?

Another question I have is about who should use shilajit for testosterone support. Is it beneficial for both younger men looking to boost performance and older men dealing with age-related testosterone decline?

If anyone has used shilajit for this purpose, I’d love to know about your experience. Did you notice improvements in energy, strength, or mood? How long did it take to see results, and were there any side effects?

Lastly, I’m curious if shilajit needs to be combined with other supplements, like ashwagandha or zinc, to enhance its effects on testosterone. Are there specific forms, like resin or capsules, that are more effective for this purpose?

Shilajit is often claimed to support testosterone levels naturally. It’s thought to help by promoting hormonal balance through its high fulvic acid and mineral content, which could potentially stimulate testosterone production. It may also indirectly reduce stress and improve overall health, which can support hormone production.

There is some evidence from studies suggesting that shilajit may boost testosterone, especially in older men with low levels. However, more research is needed to fully establish this link.

For younger men, it may support energy and performance, but for older men, it may help reduce age-related testosterone decline.

If you’ve used shilajit for this purpose, how did it affect your energy and mood? Did you notice any changes? Combining shilajit with ashwagandha or zinc may enhance its effects, but the resin form is often considered more potent than capsules.

Results can vary, but it typically takes several weeks to notice effects. As with any supplement, monitor for side effects like digestive discomfort or irritation.
