Shilajit and ashwagandha share some benefits, but they work differently in the body. Shilajit contains fulvic acid and minerals that boost cellular energy and nutrient absorption. Ashwagandha contains withanolides, compounds that regulate stress hormones and calm the nervous system.
Which Is Better?
Neither supplement is inherently better than the other—the best choice depends on your goals.

Improve cognitive function
Increase physical energy and stamina
Support male fertility
Ashwagandha may be best if you need to:

For Energy and Physical Performance
