Shilajit (Purified)
Himalayan mineral resin supporting mitochondrial energy and testosterone.
What it is
Shilajit is a mineral-rich resin formed from plant decomposition in mountain rock layers. Purified shilajit contains fulvic acid and dibenzo-α-pyrones.
How it works
Fulvic acid acts as electron shuttle in mitochondrial electron transport chain; dibenzo-α-pyrones support CoQ10 recycling.
What the evidence says
Emerging evidence for mitochondrial function and testosterone; limited but promising human trials.
