Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Shilajit has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, where it is considered a rejuvenating substance ("Rasayana") believed to enhance vitality, energy, and overall health. Its use for supporting the adrenal glands is primarily based on these traditional concepts, as Ayurveda associates Shilajit with improved physical and mental resilience, which can be interpreted as supporting the body's response to stress—an adrenal function. The resin is said to balance various bodily systems and help the body adapt to stressors, which aligns loosely with the concept of adrenal support in modern integrative health paradigms. However, direct scientific evidence specifically linking Shilajit to improved adrenal gland function is limited. Most modern studies focus on its antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and potential benefits for fatigue and energy levels, but these do not directly confirm adrenal support. Therefore, while Shilajit is traditionally used with the intention of supporting stress adaptation and resilience (functions associated with healthy adrenal glands), scientific validation for this specific use remains limited and indirect. The rating reflects strong traditional endorsement but only preliminary or tangential modern scientific support.
