HelloPharmacist Scorecard of High-Himalayan Black Shilajit by Omica Organics

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: High-Altitude Black Himalayan Shilajit. Shilajit is a mineral-rich, tar-like substance that forms in high-altitude rock deposits over centuries.

The product comes as a powder with no other active ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Shilajit product and its label doesn't state a use — see Shilajit's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether shilajit works for the conditions it's often used for—Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and osteoporosis all carry a rating of insufficient evidence. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the science isn't established yet in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Shilajit

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Shilajit is generally well tolerated, though rare side effects include headache and allergic reactions—including a documented case of severe anaphylaxis (a life-threatening allergic response). One case of high blood pressure tied to mineral imbalances was reported in a woman who took shilajit during pregnancy, though the product's direct role wasn't confirmed.

The safety data advises against shilajit during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Because unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals or other contaminants, only use purified, tested brands like this one.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Shilajit

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Shilajit.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take any antidiabetes drug—metformin, glibenclamide, insulin, or any other diabetes medication—check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. Shilajit can lower blood sugar and boost the glucose-lowering effect of these medications, raising the risk of hypoglycemia.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Shilajit may be worth considering if you're interested in its traditional uses, but the evidence for specific benefits isn't yet established in our data. The main caution is if you take diabetes medications—you'll need to talk with your doctor or pharmacist first, because shilajit may increase the risk of low blood sugar.

Skip it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Taking shilajit with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Most human and animal research shows that shilajit can decrease fasting plasma glucose levels. In an animal model, shilajit 100 mg per kg daily enhanced the glucose-lowering ability of both glibenclamide and metformin when given in combination over a 4 week period. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

High-Himalayan Black Shilajit by Omica Organics: Common Questions

Does High-Himalayan Black Shilajit by Omica Organics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, High-Himalayan Black Shilajit has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
High-Himalayan Black Shilajit contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it during pregnancy because of contamination risk and insufficient safety data. Avoid it while breastfeeding as well, since safety isn't known. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What is shilajit?
Shilajit is a mineral-rich, tar-like substance that forms naturally in high-altitude rock deposits over many centuries. It's been used traditionally in various cultures, though modern evidence for specific benefits isn't yet established.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
It's generally well tolerated. Headache is rare. One documented case of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) occurred, so if you have a known allergy to shilajit, avoid it. Because unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals, make sure you're using a purified, tested brand.
Does it work for Alzheimer disease or sexual dysfunction?
The evidence isn't established yet in the data we hold. Shilajit is marketed for both uses, but we don't have enough reliable research to say whether it actually works for either one.
