It also improved the speed, motility and the number old sperms in men.
In yet another study published in Indian Journal of Medical Research, prolonged administration of shilajit was found to cause increase of testes and seminal vesicle in male rats.

Role of Shilajit as an Aphrodisiac
Ayurveda recognizes health as an unification of our body, mind soul and sense organs. It postulates all the four factors should be in optimum condition to obtain a better health. These four elements can be analogous to four wheels of a car - any one getting deflated may lead the car turn turtle. Similarly, if any of these elements are not in its optimum condition, it will affect the performance of the individual in all fronts. If we have a look on definition of health- unification of physical, mental, environmental, social and spiritual well being"- one sees that almost the same concept of Ayurveda has been postulated by WHO today.
Thus it is imperative for an individual to maintain his body, mind, soul and senses in order to be in a better performing state.
Similarly, Ayurveda looks at lack of libido, through the problems associated with mind and body. These include- Anxiety neurosis, depression, mental and physical stress, mental and physical fatigue, lack of proper digestion, lack of smooth functioning of heart (blood circulation) and liver etc. As a matter of fact, Ayurveda addresses all these root causes to correct the lack of libido. Hence it recommends "Rasayana" which do function on all these systems and correct the imbalance thus giving an overall well-being. It postulates that once you are healthy at physical body as well as your mind. Your libido is bound to be normal.
Shilajit is perhaps the best Rasayana, Ayurveda has prescribed. The underlying power of Shilajit comes from its potency of reducing the stress of internal organs, effecting balanced energy metabolism and anti- ageing. It rejuvenates and heals every body cell and helps the cell grow at any age. Obviously a younger body can withstand all types of ailments and can better perform.
