My goal with The Glow Wellness is to empower women to feel their best. Instead of fighting the changes that come with age, we can embrace them by helping guide and ease our bodies through the changes with natural remedies. Today I am talking about Shilajit. I have heard about it for years but as it comes in a tar-like form, taking it hasnt been easy, until now. It is so beneficial for women’s health in general, but especially for alleviating many of the discomforts that come with menopause.Shilajit is packed with vital minerals and fulvic acid that support energy, hormone balance, even bone health —things that are especially crucial during menopause, as estrogen levels decline. My mood also feels a lot more predictable and my stress levels more manageable but it is to get your Shilajit from a high quality brand. There are a lot of cheaper synthetic shilajit supps sold, so find a brand you really trust to make sure you are buying safe, chemical-free shilajit. NutroTonic is my personal favorite. They do 3rd party lab testing, triple-purification, and are the only brand that uses the most potent rare red form of Shilajit. Plus you can actually taste the shilajit in the gummies –which is always a good sign Taking these gummies every day feels like a small but important act of self-care This is a new chapter, and I’m ready for it!’ Menopause isn’t something I want to fight or fear —it’s a natural part of life, and these have made a world of a difference in helping me guide my body through the changes and reduce the discomfort that sometimes comes with them.
Benefits of Shilajit for Menopause
Regulation of Hormones
Shilajit is a powerful natural remedy that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine. One of the benefits of shilajit for menopause is its ability to regulate hormones.
Shilajit contains plant-based compounds called phytoestrogens, which can help regulate estrogen levels in the body. This can reduce hot flashes and night sweats, two common symptoms of menopause.
Phytoestrogens mimic the effects of estrogen in the body but without some of the harmful side effects associated with synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Shilajit has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce pain and inflammation associated with menopause.
Bone Health
Another benefit of shilajit for menopause is its ability to promote bone health. During menopause, women are at an increased risk for osteoporosis due to a decrease in estrogen levels. Shilajit contains minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc that are essential for maintaining bone density and strength.
Calcium is one of the most important minerals for bone health. It helps build and maintain strong bones throughout life.
Magnesium plays a crucial role in bone metabolism by regulating calcium levels in the body. Zinc helps stimulate new bone growth and prevent bone loss.
Energy Boost
Many women going through menopause experience fatigue and low energy levels due to hormonal changes and other factors such as stress and poor sleep quality. Shilajit has been shown to improve energy levels by increasing oxygen delivery to cells throughout the body. Shilajit contains fulvic acid, which helps transport nutrients into cells more efficiently.
When cells receive more nutrients, they produce more energy. Fulvic acid also helps remove toxins from the body, improving overall health and vitality.
In addition to these benefits, shilajit has been shown to improve cognitive function, enhance athletic performance, and provide a host of other health benefits.
How to take Shilajit for Menopause
Dosage Recommendations
Shilajit is generally considered safe when taken in recommended doses. However, it’s important to note that there are no established guidelines on the appropriate dosage for menopausal women. Most studies have used shilajit doses ranging from 100-500 mg per day, but it is always best to start with a lower dose and then increase gradually over time.
It’s also important to consider the quality of the shilajit you are taking as lower-quality supplements may contain contaminants or harmful substances. Look for brands that have been third-party tested and certified by reputable organizations.
Shilajit extract reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and bone loss to dose-dependently preserve bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteopenia: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
(Cite: Pingali U, Nutalapati C. Shilajit extract reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and bone loss to dose-dependently preserve bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteopenia: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Phytomedicine. 2022 Oct;105:154334. doi: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154334. Epub 2022 Jul 19. PMID: 35933897.)
Results of Study:
BMD of both the LS and FN progressively decreased in women receiving placebo but was dose-dependently attenuated with shilajit extract supplementation, resulting in significantly increased percentage changes from baseline in BMD at 24- and 48-weeks in both supplemented groups compared to placebo (p < 0.001). CTX-1, BALP, and RANKL decreased, whereas OPG increased, in both groups supplemented with the shilajit extract, but not in the placebo group, resulting in significantly decreased or increased percentage changes from baseline, respectively. MDA was significantly decreased (p < 0.001) and GSH was significantly increased (p < 0.001) in both supplemented groups compared to placebo from week 12 for the duration of the study. Progressive reductions in hsCRP were observed in both supplemented groups, resulting in significantly decreased percentage changes from baseline in supplemented women compared to placebo (p < 0.001).
Conclusion:
Daily supplementation with this shilajit extract supports BMD in postmenopausal women with osteopenia in part by attenuating the increased bone turnover, inflammation and oxidative stress that coincides with estrogen deficiency in this population at increased risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures.
