Shilajit and ageing
There is no direct evidence that shilajit slows ageing in people. Shilajit is often marketed as anti-ageing because of its traditional role as an Ayurvedic rejuvenator and laboratory interest in its effects on cellular energy and oxidative stress. Human research consists of small studies that measured markers linked to ageing, such as skin blood flow, muscle gene activity and bone density in older women. None measured ageing itself.
