Today I'm going to tell you about a strange substance that was allegedly the source of Alexander the Great's power…

It’s even claimed that the army of the famous commander Genghis Khan regularly consumed this substance.

This substance is called shilajit.

Shilajit is a tar-like substance that is found in the Himalayan Mountains.

It is rich in minerals, and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to treat various health conditions.

It contains an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substance, fulvic acid, in high amounts.

Researchers looked into how shilajit was used in ancient times, and their findings prompted them to experiment.

Therefore, in recent years, shilajit has gained popularity as a natural supplement to support men's health.

Many men say they have seen great effects from shilajit, such as

Increased testosterone
Increased energy
Improved skin health
Higher self-confidence
Liver cleansing

With this natural substance becoming so popular again, researchers couldn't help but pursue it.

That's why many studies have been and continue to be conducted on shilajit.

Here is one of them:

This study was conducted at the Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Iran. It was published in Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation.

The liver may be the most important organ for a man, but also the most damaged.

Because modern life is very taxing on the liver.

It is a vital organ that plays a crucial role in many important bodily functions.

It metabolizes nutrients, detoxifies harmful substances, and produces bile to aid digestion.

It is also an essential part of the immune system, as it helps to fight off infections and other diseases.

See, I wasn't exaggerating when I said it might be the most important organ.

So maintaining liver health is essential.

However, as I said, it’s not easy as it sounds so people develop liver diseases.

The most common one is fat accumulation in the liver, called NAFLD (Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease).

In this study, the researchers tested the effects of shilajit on this disease.

And this is how they did it:

They took a group of mice with NAFLD and gave them shilajit.

At the end of 12 weeks, they looked at the results.

At the end of this period, they observed significant decreases in liver enzymes, triglyceride, cholesterol, and liver weight of the mice in the shilajit group.

“Shilajit treatment significantly reduced the values of AST and ALT, TG, TC, LDL, glucose, liver weight, and steatosis, and instead, increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) compared with the vehicle group.”

Moreover, they found that shilajit reduced physical damage caused by this disease.

“Shilajit treatment improved the adverse effects of HFD-induced histopathological changes in the liver as compared with the vehicle group.”

And finally, they found that shilajit was an excellent antioxidant.

“Shilajit restored the antioxidant/oxidant balance toward a significant increase in the antioxidant system in the Shilajit group.”
Shilajit is a mysterious substance waiting to be explored.

This study showed that shilajit could be very helpful in treating fatty liver disease.

Shilajit is on my very close radar.

I think it could be a hugely beneficial supplement for men.

In my opinion it’s best to start with 200mg and go from there.

When buying shilajit, look for brands that have been tested for heavy metals by a 3rd party.

Choose the one with low heavy metals.
