Abstract

Shilajit, a natural substance used in traditional medicine, has garnered attention for its potential health benefits. This systematic review aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Shilajit based on available clinical trial data. Using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive search of relevant databases to identify studies that investigated the effects of Shilajit in various health conditions. In conclusion, Shilajit represents a fascinating intersection of traditional medicine and modern science. Its rich history, complex composition, and diverse therapeutic potential make it a subject worthy of rigorous scientific exploration. This systematic review aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on Shilajit, providing a comprehensive assessment of its clinical efficacy and safety.
