Evidence LevelLimited-ModerateModerate

Mechanism

Fatty acid ester with anti-inflammatory and joint-lubricating properties. Modulates immune response by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase and modulating prostaglandin synthesis. Reduces joint inflammation and improves range of motion in arthritic conditions.

Contraindications

  • Severe liver disease

Mechanism

Fulvic acid-rich mineral complex that enhances mitochondrial CoQ10 function, increases testosterone (via FSH), and acts as a potent electron carrier in the ETC. Enhances bioavailability of other supplements. Contains dibenzo-alpha-pyrones and fulvic acids.

Contraindications

  • Hemochromatosis
  • Must use purified form — raw shilajit may contain heavy metals
