HelloPharmacist Scorecard of High-Himalayan Shilajit Paste 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: shilajit extract. Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance that comes from high-altitude areas like the Himalayas.

It's been used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine, though modern research on its effects in humans is still limited. There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients listed in this product.

Does it work?

No specific claim
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
General wellness

This Shilajit product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade — see Shilajit's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“General vitality and energy support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence for shilajit is limited. The data we hold rates it as having insufficient reliable evidence for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and osteopenia (low bone density).

That means research so far hasn't been strong or complete enough for us to say whether it works for any of these uses. If you're considering it for a specific condition, your pharmacist can help you understand what the science actually shows.

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 a rare case of headache has been reported in clinical research. One case of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) requiring emergency treatment occurred in someone who took a higher dose after previously tolerating the supplement.

There is also a reported case of high blood pressure in a woman who took shilajit during pregnancy, though whether shilajit caused it is unclear. Importantly, unpurified shilajit products can contain heavy metals or other contaminants — only use brands that are purified and tested for safety.

Shilajit is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data and contamination risk.

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.

Check your antidiabetes medications — especially if you take metformin, glibenclamide, or any drug that lowers blood sugar — before adding shilajit. The combination may increase your risk of low blood sugar.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take antidiabetes medications, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting shilajit — the combination may lower your blood sugar too much. Make sure you buy a purified, tested brand to avoid contamination.

Avoid shilajit if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. The evidence for what shilajit actually does is still thin, so manage your expectations.

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 Shilajit Paste by Omica Organics: Common Questions

Does High-Himalayan Shilajit Paste by Omica Organics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, High-Himalayan Shilajit Paste 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 Shilajit Paste 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.
Is this safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data, and unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals or contaminants. The facts advise against it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're considering it.
What does shilajit actually do? Does it work?
The evidence for shilajit is limited. Our data rates it as having insufficient evidence for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, prostate health, and bone density. Research hasn't been strong enough yet to say whether it works for these uses.
I take metformin for diabetes. Is shilajit okay for me?
You should check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Shilajit can lower blood sugar, and when combined with metformin in animal studies, it made the blood-sugar-lowering effect stronger. That raises the risk of your blood sugar dropping too low.
What are the side effects?
Headache is reported rarely. One rare case of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) occurred when someone took a higher dose. Some people may develop hives or other allergy signs. If you notice any unusual symptoms, stop and talk to your pharmacist.
Does it matter what brand I buy?
Yes. Unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals or other harmful contaminants. Only buy purified, tested brands — the label should tell you it's been checked for purity and safety.
How many active ingredients are in this?
Just one: shilajit extract. There are no fillers or other added ingredients in this product.
