does shilajit increase testosterone in females

Shlok

I am really curious about something that's been kinda bothering me for a while. I’m a 32 year old woman, and I’ve been hearing all this stuff about shilajit and how it’s supposed to have some health benefits. I started taking shilajit a few months ago because I felt really tired and wanted a natural boost. Now, I’ve read some articles that say shilajit could increase testosterone levels in females. Does shilajit increase testosterone in females? I know testosterone is important for energy and mood, but I’m not really looking for anything crazy, ya know? Just kinda want to feel more myself again. I had my hormone levels checked last year, and they were mostly normal, but ever since I started with the shilajit, I've noticed a slight change—like, I feel more energetic some days, but occasionally I have these weird cravings, and my skin is a little oilier than usual. I’m kinda worried that it might be affecting my hormone balance. I really don’t want to mess with my body much more than it already is. Does shilajit increase testosterone in females? Should I stop taking it or try something else? Thanks!

Doctors' responses

Shilajit, a natural supplement found mostly in the Himalayas, is used traditionally for various health benefits, including increased energy and stamina. It’s true, some reports suggest that shilajit might influence hormonal levels, but the evidence specifically regarding its impact on testosterone in women is limited and not clear-cut. In men, some small studies have shown shilajit might increase testosterone levels, but how it affects females isn’t well-researched. It’s possible that any effects you’re experiencing might be more related to other micronutrients within shilajit rather than a direct increase in testosterone. If you’re noticing changes like oily skin or unusual cravings, it could be other factors or shilajit slightly influencing your hormonal balance. Since personal experiences with supplements can vary, and because your hormonal levels checked out normal previously, it doesn’t seem immediately alarming. However, if you’re concerned, it wouldn’t hurt to pause and observe if discontinuing shilajit changes anything for you. Consider discussing these symptoms and any concerns you have with your healthcare provider. They might suggest regular monitoring or exploring other avenues to manage energy and mood, like dietary adjustments or a different supplement that doesn’t carry the same uncertainty in hormonal effects. Prioritizing how any supplement fits into your overall lifestyle is crucial, so ensuring it aligns with your health goals without causing undue imbalance is key.
