Shilajit helps to upregulate TNXB

Found this amazing article on how a patented form of shilajit helps to increase extracellular matrix (ECM) genes, including TNXB, which makes tenascin. 

The Human Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome in Response to Oral Shilajit Supplementation

TNXB and some collagen and elastin genes were some that were up-regulated. "TNXB was increased by ∼1.7-fold."

I used to take daily shilajit (the resin) back when I was doing better with CIRS-caused EDS.

Upregulating ECM genes including TNXB might be a good approach.
