Does Shilajit Increase Testosterone? A Guide to Men's Vitality - Altai Origin

Shilajit and testosterone: The natural guide to boosting male vitality.

Why choose Shilajit and testosterone for your health?

The interaction between Shilajit and testosterone is currently at the heart of research on natural hormonal health. Testosterone is the primary male hormone, but its role extends far beyond libido...

Science: What do clinical studies say?

Clinical research provides strong evidence for men's health. A key study, published in the journal Andrologia , examined the effects of purified shilajit on healthy men.

  • The study: A group of men aged 45 to 55 received either 250 mg of purified shilajit or a placebo, twice a day.

  • Duration: They were followed for 90 consecutive days.

  • The results: After 90 days, the group taking shilajit showed a significant increase in total testosterone, free testosterone and DHEA (a precursor hormone) compared to the placebo group.

This study suggests that shilajit works deep down to support the body's natural hormone production.

How does Shilajit support testosterone?

Shilajit is not a simple substance; it is a powerful complex that influences hormones through several mechanisms.

1. Rich in fulvic acid and essential minerals

Shilajit is a fulvic-mineral complex. Its high concentration of fulvic acid acts as a carrier, propelling minerals and nutrients directly into your cells. It contains zinc, magnesium, and selenium, essential elements for testosterone production, which many men lack.

2. A powerful adaptogen against stress

Chronic stress is a testosterone "killer." When cortisol (the stress hormone) is high, testosterone production is often suppressed. As an adaptogen, shilajit helps the body modulate its stress response, lowering cortisol and creating an environment conducive to testosterone.

3. Boost of mitochondrial energy (ATP)

Hormone production requires a lot of energy. Shilajit boosts the function of mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of your cells, by increasing the production of ATP (cellular energy). A well-nourished endocrine system functions optimally.

Beyond testosterone: other benefits for men

  • Energy and endurance: By boosting ATP, it combats deep fatigue.

  • Muscle recovery: Its anti-inflammatory properties and mineral content help repair tissues after exercise.

  • Libido and fertility: Studies show that it can improve sperm count and motility.

  • Cognitive function: The energy boost clears mental fog and improves concentration.

How to take Shilajit for testosterone?

Consistency is key to achieving stable results.

  • Dosage: The effective dose studied is 250 mg twice daily (500 mg total). A starting dose the size of a small pea (approximately 300-500 mg) once daily is also effective.

  • Purity is non-negotiable: To reap these benefits, you must use purified and authentic shilajit. Uncontrolled products may contain heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic) that are harmful to your health.

  • Altai Origin: Our resin comes from the Altai mountains, guaranteeing a pure product tested by independent laboratories such as Eurofins.

Routine tip: Dissolve your resin in warm water or milk in the morning, ideally on an empty stomach for maximum absorption.

Conclusion: a natural pillar for male vitality

Shilajit is not a miracle cure, but a holistic substance that supports the entire male endocrine system. By providing essential minerals, reducing the impact of stress, and nourishing your cells, it helps restore energy, dynamism, and vitality.
