Trial participants with oxygen saturation less than 96 percent at the time of screening. 3. Trial participants with random blood glucose levels greater than or equal to 140 milligrams per deciliter at the time of screening. 4. Any clinically significant electrocardiogram abnormality at screening, such as corrected QT interval greater than 450 milliseconds in males, abnormal heart rhythm, or signs of heart abnormalities as per investigatorâ??s opinion. 5. Trial participants who have been using nutritional or energy supplements, medications, or steroids to enhance physical performance within the past 30 days. 6. Trial participants with a history of uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension. 7. Trial participants with any unstable medical illness including but not limited to cardiovascular, renal, or hepatic disorders at screening. 8. Trial participants with a history of any medical condition where exercise is contraindicated. 9. Trial participants who are currently on diuretics. 10. Trial participants who have donated blood within one month prior to screening. 11. History of any orthopedic injury or surgery that incapacitates the participant for exercise. 12. Any planned participation in any sporting event during the study period. 13. Trial participants with a known history of allergies or hypersensitivity to Shilajit. 14.
