Shilajit Gummies: Science or Snake Oil?
Just saw this article and it's got me thinking. I've been considering shilajit gummies for a while, but the science seems iffy. Anyone here tried them? Any real benefits or just hype?
Honestly, I've been taking them for a month now, and I feel like my workouts are better? But could be placebo. The article is right that there's not much solid research. Still, the minerals might be beneficial if you're deficient.
As a med student, I'd say be careful. The article mentions potential benefits like antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, but also risks like heavy metal contamination. Since supplements aren't FDA regulated, quality varies. If you try it, pick a reputable brand that does third-party testing.
I tried them and noticed zero difference. Save your money and focus on diet and sleep. But if you want that 'primal' feeling, go for it, just do your research. I'm sticking to my multivitamin.
