Yes, purified shilajit (also spelled shilajeet) can boost testosterone levels, backed by a key randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study showing significant increases.
Study Evidence
In a 2016 trial, 75 healthy men aged 45-55 took 250 mg purified shilajit twice daily for 90 days. Total testosterone rose 20.45%, free testosterone 19.14%, and DHEAS (a precursor) also increased (all p<0.05 vs. placebo), with no changes to LH/FSH.
Smaller studies echo this, linking fulvic acid in shilajit to hormone support and sperm quality.
Caveats and Advice
Raw shilajit risks heavy metals; use lab-tested, purified forms. Effects shine in middle-aged men; young/healthy may see less. Combine with exercise/sleep for best results—test levels first. Consult a doctor, as more large trials are needed.
