Abstract in brief

  • Shilajit, a traditional herbomineral substance from mountainous rock exudes used in Ayurveda, shows potential antiviral properties that need further scientific investigation.
  • In vitro tests demonstrated that Shilajit can inhibit certain viruses, like herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, and RSV, through mechanisms such as virus inactivation and blocking virus attachment, with its component humic acid playing a key role.
  • The study confirms that Shilajit has broad but specific antiviral activity in laboratory settings, but more research is necessary to understand its effectiveness in living organisms.]
