Research
Mumijo/shilajit has been the subject of scientific research in Russia and India since the early 1950s. Claims were investigated with scientific methods. So far the following claims have been confirmed in laboratory conditions, in general by using mouse models:
- Anti-inflammatory (e.g., arthritis, rheumatism)
- Dispels pain
- Anti-ulcer
- Anti-anxiety, anti-stress
- Smart drug (nootropic effect)
- Anti-aging (both mental and physical)
In the former USSR, medical preparations based on mumijo/shilajit are still being sold, further developed and investigated. In India, dietary supplements based on shilajit are also very popular, mainly due to its assumed effect on male impotence and premature ejaculation.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
