We Have Done Our Research
At Sunpure Superfoods, we don’t just sell Shilajit—we study it. We've immersed ourselves in the academic research to fully understand its composition, benefits, and how it interacts with the body. This allows us to confidently call ourselves true experts in all things Shilajit.
Every product we offer is backed by evidence and developed in line with scientific research to ensure it meets the highest standards of purity and effectiveness. We provide full transparency on sourcing, purification methods, and nutrient composition, so you know exactly what you're getting.
But don’t just take our word for it. On this page, we’ve compiled a growing collection of independent scientific studies from around the world, covering Shilajit’s bioactive compounds, traditional uses, and modern research on its health benefits.
We also break down complex research into clear, easy-to-understand articles on Shilajit’s effects on energy, performance, cognitive function, and overall well-being. You can explore all our science-backed insights on the Sunpure Superfoods Blog.
Studies on the Benefits of Shilajit
Shilajit is at the core of what we do, and understanding the science behind it is essential to recognising why it’s such a powerful natural substance for health and vitality We’ve written several articles explaining how Shilajit works, its key benefits, and what to look for when choosing a high-quality source:
"Treatment with Shilajit for consecutive 90 days revealed that it has significantly (P < 0.05) increased total testosterone, free testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS) compared with placebo."
"Shilajit is a potent and very safe dietary supplement, potentially able to prevent several diseases, but its main medical application now appears to come from its actions in benefit of cognition and potentially as a dietary supplement to prevent Alzheimer's disease."
"Daily supplementation with this shilajit extract supports bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteopenia in part by attenuating the increased bone turnover, inflammation and oxidative stress that coincides with estrogen deficiency"
Studies on the Safety and Efficacy of Shilajit
Research confirms Shilajit’s safety and efficacy when properly purified. That’s why we source only the best—Himalayan Shilajit, carefully filtered for 30 days and sun-dried for 45 days at high altitudes, or our Altai Shilajit (also known as mumie, moomiyo), purified through centrifugal filtration and vacuum-dried without heat to retain its full potency.
"The safety of shilajit is well documented based on animal and human studies."
"Various research studies indicate that shilajit exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, adaptogenic, immunomodulatory, and anti-dyslipidemic properties.
"Key constituents in shilajit responsible for these effects appear to be dibenzo-α-pyrones and fulvic acid and their derivatives."
