Reviewed by Syed Muhammad Muneeb Zahid, PharmD · Updated
Quick answer
For men, shilajit is most studied for supporting healthy testosterone levels, sperm quality, energy and exercise endurance. Studies used 250–500 mg of purified shilajit daily for 8–12 weeks. It is a supplement, not a treatment for erectile dysfunction or infertility.

What studies found in men
- ◆Testosterone: 250 mg twice daily for 90 days raised total and free testosterone in healthy men aged 45–55.
- ◆Sperm quality: 90 days of purified shilajit improved sperm count and motility in men with low counts.
- ◆Endurance: 500 mg/day for 8 weeks helped preserve muscle strength after fatiguing exercise.
For gym and sports
Take it 30–60 minutes before training or in the morning. It works best alongside good sleep, protein and regular training — not as a replacement.
When to see a doctor
Ongoing weakness, low libido or erection problems can be signs of diabetes, heart disease, thyroid or hormone problems. Please get checked rather than relying on supplements.
