More research is needed. No clinical studies exist to support the use of Shilajit in people with addiction and its interactions with psychotropic drugs are unknown.In one study on mice, Shilajit reduced the symptoms of withdrawal while also helping to curb addictive behavior. It acted by altering dopamine levels in the limbic system (cortico-hippocampal), a brain region that controls emotions [11].One group of researchers is wondering whether Shilajit may play a role in the opioid epidemic. It’s a well-known fact that opioids like morphine quickly cause tolerance, which causes people to require higher and higher doses. Shilajit could reduce the risk of developing tolerance to morphine in mice, but its effects on pain and drug tolerance in humans are unknown [12].In another mouse study, the combination of ashwagandha and Shilajit reversed alcohol withdrawal anxiety. More research is needed [11].4) Gut HealthAs an antioxidant, Shilajit is being researched for protecting the body from stomach damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammation [13, 13].Fulvic acid found in this biomass reduced stomach acid and pepsin secretion in the stomachs of rats, which lowers the risk of ulcers. Its effects on gut and stomach disorders in humans are not known [13, 13].Benzoic Acid from Shilajit, on the other hand, may have antibacterial properties. Scientists believe it may fight bacteria in the stomach and gut, which could potentially help with SIBO and gut infections in general [14].5) Heart HealthShilajit may have heart-protective properties. It may act by increasing levels of the master antioxidant glutathione. It also provides the body with various nutrients that support heart health [15].Humic acid, found in Shilajit, may also help lower blood fats, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. In rats, humic acid reduced total cholesterol and total fats in the blood while boosting the ‘good’ HDL cholesterol
