The Benefits of Ashwagandha and Shilajit Together
Ashwagandha and Shilajit supplements have become famous for use together for their beneficial synergy. Shilajit contains high amounts of fulvic acid, making mixing other supplements much easier. The fulvic acid allows other supplements and minerals to become more bioavailable and ready for the body to use. Let's dive into what this means for you.

What is shilajit and ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha supplement is an herb that contains the extract of the plant's root. It is traditionally used in ayurvedic medicine for brain health, reducing stress, and promoting increases in testosterone. Supplements typically come in the form of capsules, powder, or tincture. [1]
Shilajit supplement is a naturally occurring resin formed in the Himalayan mountains, containing over 40 minerals. It has been known to support healthy aging, improve energy, and support brain function. It is also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, shilajit has been shown to enhance testosterone levels in men, which can help improve fertility and sexual function [2] [3] [4].
Combined, both supplements complement each other by increasing testosterone levels, improving memory, and improving stress resistance.

Researched Daily Dosage?
Taking Shilajit at 250mg twice daily has been recorded to increase testosterone by 6.82% in the first 30 days and 20.45% by day 60.
At 100mg twice per day for 90 days, shilajit was shown to increase total sperm count by 61.4%.
On the other hand, ashwagandha increases the production of luteinizing hormones and reduces stress hormones like cortisol, which blocks testosterone from functioning normally. Ashwagandha has been documented to improve testosterone levels in fertile and infertile men by up to 22% after 90 days.
Ashwagandha and Shilajit Potency
Our 500mg capsules contain:
250mg 10:1 Ashwagandha: If an extract is 10:1, 10g of the raw material is concentrated into 1g of powdered extract. For example:
10g of herb concentrated to 1 gram becomes 10:1
20g of herb concentrated to 1 gram become 20:1 (Stronger, more potent)
Some companies may label their supplements 5000 mg per capsule, which is impossible but will contain 500mg of 10:1 extract.
250mg 20% Shilajit: This means that 20% of the main ingredient fulvic acid is present. The rest is made of vitamins, minerals, and other plant parts.
F.A.Q
Can you take Ashwagandha and Shilajit together?
