HelloPharmacist Scorecard of High Mountain Shilajit 450 mg by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs

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: Himalayan Shilajit Extract at 450 mg per capsule. Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine.

The capsule also includes inactive ingredients—pullulan polysaccharide (a plant-based capsule material), rice powder, bamboo extract powder, and rice extract blend—which serve as fillers and flow agents.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Shilajit's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: general vitality and energy tonic.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Male infertility, Sexual desire, Sexual dysfunction, stamina, endurance — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Shilajit is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Sexual dysfunction (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Shilajit is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance, Sexual desire, Male infertility.

The evidence for shilajit's effectiveness hasn't been reliably established in our data for the conditions it's marketed for, including Alzheimer's disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and bone density. The rating across these areas is insufficient reliable evidence to rate, which means more high-quality research is needed before we can say whether it actually works for these purposes.

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 side effects have been reported: rarely, headache after taking it, and in rare cases, allergy symptoms including hives and anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction requiring emergency treatment). Because unpurified shilajit products may contain heavy metals or other contaminants, only use purified, tested brands like this one.

Avoid shilajit during pregnancy—there isn't enough safety data, and a case of severe high blood pressure was reported in a pregnant woman using shilajit, though a direct link wasn't confirmed. Avoid it while breastfeeding as well, since safety data is unknown.

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 antidiabetes drugs like metformin or glibenclamide, check with your pharmacist before starting—shilajit may increase your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Shilajit is best considered if you're interested in trying a traditional supplement with an established safety profile in short-term use—but the evidence that it works for any particular condition isn't solid yet. If you take antidiabetes medication, definitely talk to your pharmacist before adding this product.

Skip it entirely 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 Mountain Shilajit 450 mg by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs: Common Questions

Does High Mountain Shilajit 450 mg by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, High Mountain Shilajit 450 mg 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 Mountain Shilajit 450 mg 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. There isn't enough safety data during pregnancy, and a case of serious high blood pressure was reported in a pregnant woman using shilajit. Safety while breastfeeding is also unknown, so it's best avoided in both situations. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about alternatives.
What is shilajit exactly?
Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine. It's a concentrate of minerals and organic compounds. This product uses a purified extract to reduce contamination risk.
Are there any side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. Headache is reported rarely. Very rarely, allergic reactions including hives and anaphylaxis (severe swelling and difficulty breathing requiring emergency care) have been reported. Only use purified, tested brands to avoid heavy metal contamination.
Does shilajit actually work for Alzheimer's, sexual dysfunction, or athletic performance?
The evidence isn't established yet. The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate shilajit for these or other conditions it's marketed for, so we can't say whether it works.
Why does this product have multiple inactive ingredients?
The inactive ingredients—rice powder, bamboo extract, and pullulan polysaccharide—are fillers, binders, and capsule materials that help form and preserve the supplement. They don't add therapeutic benefit but are standard in capsule products.
