Shilajit for infertility
 The spermatogenic and ovogenic effects of chronically administered Shilajit to rats.
 J Ethnopharmacol. 2006 Oct 11;107(3):349-53. College of Pharmacy, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, Heungdukgu Gaeshindong San 12, Chungbuk 361-763, South Korea.
The effects of Shilajit on the formation of new sperms and eggs were studied using male and female rats. Shilajit was administered orally to 7-week-old rats over a 6-week period. In the male rats, the number of sperms in the testes and epididymides was significant higher than in the control. In the female rats, the effect of Shilajit was estimated by the ovulation inducing activity. Over a 5-day, ovulation was induced in seven out of nine rats in the Shilajit administration group and in three out of nine rats in the control. It was estimated that Shilajit had both a spermiogenic and ovogenic effect in mature rats.
