At 400mg per capsule, you're getting **Shilajit Extract** right in the middle of the 250–500mg clinical range — the dose used in studies on testosterone support and mitochondrial energy production. One capsule a day covers your effective dose without needing to double up, which keeps things simple.
The extract is standardized to 5% fulvic acid, the compound thought to drive shilajit's ability to help your body recycle CoQ10 and support nutrient absorption at the cellular level. Research here is moderate — a handful of human trials show promise for energy and hormonal balance, but this isn't a deeply studied ingredient yet.
The main thing to know: shilajit quality varies widely by source, and this label doesn't specify a branded or third-party-tested extract like PrimaVie. If purity and heavy metal testing matter to you, it's worth checking whether Swanson publishes test results for this product.
