Shilajit "is a potent and safe dietary supplement, potentially able to prevent several diseases" "its actions benefit cognition and prevent Alzheimer's disease. Considering the expected impact of shilajit applications in the medical field, especially in neurological sciences, more investigations at the basic biological level are necessary, and certainly well-developed clinical trials, in order to understand how its active principles act at molecular and cellular levels.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3296184/
