Ninety days of 250 mg twice-daily TruBlk Shilajit resin improved erectile function in 100 men (IIEF 11–25) with mild-to-moderate erectile dysfunction, with IIEF total rising +32.1% vs +13.6% (p=0.005).
- Why it matters: Erectile dysfunction and age-related testosterone decline lack long-term options that balance tolerability, cost, and reluctance to start hormone therapy, leaving limited evidence in diagnosed patients.
- What they did: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial across two sites, men received TruBlk Shilajit resin or matched placebo for 90 days, measuring IIEF, total/free testosterone, cortisol, and HIS-Q domains.
- The result: TruBlk also increased total testosterone (+46.1% vs +10.0%, p=0.030) and free testosterone (+37.4% vs +6.8%, p=0.048), reduced fatigue (FSS −51.8% vs −27.4%, d=−1.13, p<0.0001), and in an exploratory subset improved sperm concentration and motility.
