DOSE-DEPENDENT EFFECT OF MUMIYO EXTRACT ON PLATELET COUNT IN DOGS

A key task in hematology and pharmacology is determining the safety profile of natural compounds that affect the blood coagulation system. Platelets play a crucial role in maintaining vascular integrity by forming the primary hemostatic plug. Although Mumiyo (Shilajit) is known for its adaptogenic and regenerative properties, high doses may have unexpected effects on formed blood elements, specifically the concentration of peripheral blood platelets. This study is significant because it explains Mumiyo's impact on hemostasis not just through clotting factors, but through quantitative cellular changes, providing a scientific basis for optimizing clinical dosage.
