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 mountain regions.

There are no other active ingredients, and no inactive fillers or binders are 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.

The evidence for shilajit isn't established in our data. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and osteoporosis (weak bones).

That doesn't mean it doesn't work for these uses—it means the research so far hasn't been robust enough to say one way or the other. If you're considering shilajit for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.

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 small number of people have reported headache after taking it. Rarely, allergic reactions have been reported, including one case of severe anaphylaxis (a life-threatening allergic reaction) triggered by exercise after a higher dose.

Because unpurified products can contain heavy metals and other contaminants, use only purified, tested brands like this one. The safety data advises against shilajit during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, so if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.

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 drugs—metformin, insulin, glibenclamide, or other blood-sugar-lowering medications—double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product, because shilajit may increase the risk of low blood sugar.

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 from Omica Organics is a purified extract, but it does interact with blood-sugar-lowering medications and its effectiveness for most uses isn't yet well established. If you take antidiabetes drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. For any personal health decisions, talk it over with your own healthcare provider.

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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against shilajit during pregnancy, and safety is unknown while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it.
What's in this product besides shilajit?
Just shilajit extract—there are no other active ingredients or added fillers listed.
Does it work for Alzheimer disease or memory?
We hold insufficient reliable evidence to say whether shilajit works for Alzheimer disease. The research so far hasn't been robust enough to rate it.
Can shilajit cause allergic reactions?
Allergic reactions are rare, but they have been reported. One documented case involved hives and anaphylaxis (a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction) triggered when a higher dose was taken with exercise. If you have known allergies or notice any signs of an allergic reaction, stop using it and seek medical help right away.
Is this product purified and safe from heavy metals?
Yes—Omica Organics is a tested, purified brand. Because unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals and other contaminants, it's important to use only purified, tested brands like this one.
What should I do if I take blood sugar medication?
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. Shilajit can lower blood sugar and may enhance the effect of antidiabetes drugs, raising the risk of low blood sugar.
