Shilajit for Fertility Support

Research suggests that shilajit may support reproductive function in both males and females, though the available evidence is limited in scope and quality. The existing studies consist of a rat-based animal study from 2006 and a single human case report from 2024, both of which show a directionally supportive signal — the animal study found increased sperm counts and enhanced ovulation in treated rats, while the case report described improved sperm parameters and successful assisted conception in a man following shilajit supplementation alongside Ayurvedic detoxification protocols. However, neither study represents the rigorous clinical trial evidence needed to draw firm conclusions, as animal findings do not always translate to humans and a single case report cannot establish causation or rule out the influence of other concurrent interventions. Studies indicate this is a preliminary area of inquiry, and considerably more controlled human research would be needed before meaningful conclusions about shilajit's role in fertility support can be drawn.
