Shilajit is an ancient herbomineral compound with rich traditional uses. However, recently, extensive scientific research has been conducted to validate its health benefits, confirming its efficacy and safety. Shilajit contains fulvic acid, along with various other compounds, such as polyphenols, trace elements, minerals, and more. The combination of these natural components makes this herbo-mineral compound a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. It is also important to note that the current use of Shilajit is mostly limited to men for overall well-being, immune boosting, and enhancing endurance, strength, and stamina. Additionally, different formulations of Shilajit are available to promote calming effects, aid with insomnia, sexual dysfunction, and more. Notably, women still face barriers in using Shilajit due to its explicit claims related to men's sexual health. As a result, many women do not benefit from this remarkable natural compound. In this manuscript, we discuss the scientific evidence supporting the use of Shilajit for women. We have compiled data from both preclinical and clinical studies to explore its potential benefits for females.
