Boost Testosterone or Bust? The Truth About Shilajit Benefits, Explained by Urologist

[@dumbobilal]

Has been used since centuries but still needs further research to prove these claims. While 5-10 year old drugs are fully backed by studies 😢.

[@christopherdsuza7531]

Yes, but anecdotally they have been used for centuries not just for testosterone but also for other numerous health benefits (with 85+ minerals), with little side effect as long as you get one from a trusted source - people swear by the stuff. Don't underestimate the power of word of mouth. Problem with a lot of drugs now days is that you take one and than you got to take another to alleviate the side effects of the one you took and so forth - not that they are not helpful, they certainly work and sometimes better. But, I would only rely on drugs if its really necessarily and would rather try to fix it through diet and super-foods first.

[@Purriah]

Well yeah. Drug companies fund studies for things they can make money off of. Those companies can’t just go invade Nepal and take their natural resources and sell this stuff lol

[@ratm3133]

I started taking shilajit back in March and it really helps my immune system out a lot I’m not congested anymore and my acne disappeared also. I really like it.

[@DeskundigeLevenscoachenMeester]

Given that i can't imagine Shilajit mixing very well with any significant amount of dairy in your diet it is highly more likely that the reduction in dairy is responsible for your skin clearing up and not the Shilajit lol!

​@@DeskundigeLevenscoachenMeesterdid you just assume that he stopped in taking as much dairy???

Since i have been taking shilajit from Better Alt, one of the big difference since in me, I have Vivid dreams every single night, all night long, maybe this is because of the detox of heavy metals in my body and anti inflammatory benefits

For a human study, that’s about all you’re ever gonna get. There’s several good scientific reasons that we don’t include bigger human studies and that’s mainly because of the control factors involved. That’s why we study mice instead. Also, you have to realize anytime the medical field as in the Doctor Who did this video says that there’s bias she’s correct. One when a lab sponsors a study it doesn’t mean right away that they fabricated and lied what it means is if they don’t get a favorable result they’ll just bury it or not publish it or throw it away . And I guess yes they could be really deceitful and just make shit up but it’s more likely that they’ll just not publish and unfavorable result. Also, since the video author is a doctor medical doctors will always default back to the medical field of training, which says stuff like this is not supposed to work.
