Hormone-related claims evidence brief
Shilajit is a mineral-rich resin used in some vitality and testosterone supplements. It is commonly promoted for energy, testosterone, fertility, and recovery, but contamination risk matters.
Early human trials report biomarker or fatigue-related signals, but practical performance evidence remains limited and product quality risk is high.
Small RCTs report testosterone or fatigue-related signals; contamination and standardization risk keep confidence low.
Purified, tested extracts in studies cannot be generalized to raw resin or unverified mineral blends.
Heavy-metal and adulteration testing is essential. Do not translate testosterone biomarker findings into muscle-gain claims.

The score reflects evidence that the supplement does its stated job. Some jobs are direct, such as strength, endurance, or recovery; others are indirect, such as sleep, mood, appetite, or health support. A real effect can still receive a cautious practical rating when dose, safety, product quality, or audience fit remain uncertain.
