It increases testosterone also. It's a really good product. I was taking a supplement that had Nac, shilijat, and a bunch of other anti oxidants in it, to include tudca. But the company went out of business :(.

I heard about this a while back from a guy said he found it at a ganja dispensary. He is fairly ripped and said it gives him more power when he hit's the heavy weights, but tastes like crap. I dunno, I might have to try that.

Reminds me of years ago first hearing about Klamath Lake Blue Green Algae. Never was sure if it really is a super food or what have you, but maybe I should revisit that, as well?

......I put that shit in my garden

Life Extension has long sold CoQ10 ubiquinol combined with shilajit. (They sell ubiquinone, the less-absorbable form of CoQ10, also, and ubiquinol by itself without shilajit). Here's what they have to say about shilajit:

Shilajit enhances CoQ10 effectiveness

Shilajit is a nutrient discovered in the Himalayas. In preclinical models, shilajit has been shown to promote mitochondrial energy production and increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the main source of cellular energy.15,16 The combination of CoQ10 and shilajit produced a 56% increase in cellular energy production in the brain—45% better than CoQ10 alone. Muscle tissue saw a 144% increase in ATP, more than 50% better than with CoQ10 by itself.15

I put a little dab of it on a spoon and stir it in my coffee. It’s horrible by itself!

I use it from time to time. My body only craves a little but my wife really likes it. Take it in moderation and also cravings seem to taper as you get what you need. I think you can overdue it so stick to dosage.

I take shilajit in capsule form. I was taking fulvic acid in liquid drops.
