HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Primavie Shilajit by Antler Farms

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: PrimaVie shilajit, a purified extract. The capsule itself is made from vegetable material.

Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, though what it actually does in the body isn't yet well established by rigorous research.

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.

We don't have solid evidence that shilajit works for any of the conditions it's marketed for — including Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), or low bone mineral density (osteopenia). The data we hold rates all of these as having insufficient reliable evidence.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research isn't there yet to confirm it does.

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: one case of a severe allergic reaction (hives progressing to anaphylaxis) linked to a higher dose, and rare headaches in clinical trials. Because unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals and contaminants, use only tested, purified brands like this one.

The safety data advises against shilajit in pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe, and contamination risk is a concern.

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 — including metformin, glibenclamide, or any other medication to control blood sugar — check your exact medication with the tool on this page before starting shilajit. The risk is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

No other major medication interactions are documented for the ingredient we could check.

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're considering shilajit mainly for its traditional reputation, know that the evidence for any benefit isn't established yet. The biggest safety watch is if you take diabetes medication — your blood sugar could drop too low.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip this one.

Talk to your pharmacist about whether this fits your situation, especially if you're on any medications.

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.

Primavie Shilajit by Antler Farms: Common Questions

Does Primavie Shilajit by Antler Farms interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Primavie 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?
Primavie 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?
No. The safety data advises against shilajit in pregnancy because there isn't enough data to know it's safe, and there's also a contamination risk. The same goes for breastfeeding — safety is unknown. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're considering it.
What exactly is shilajit?
Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine. This product uses PrimaVie, a purified extract form. It's important to use purified, tested brands because unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals and other contaminants.
Does shilajit actually work for the things it claims to treat?
The research evidence isn't established yet. For Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, prostate health, and bone density, we rate the evidence as insufficient. That doesn't mean it won't help you — just that we don't have solid proof it does.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people tolerate it well. Very rarely, headaches have been reported. In one unusual case, a person developed a severe allergic reaction at a higher dose. If you develop hives, difficulty breathing, or other signs of an allergic reaction, seek emergency help right away.
I take metformin for diabetes. Can I use this?
You need to check with your pharmacist first. Shilajit can lower blood sugar, and combined with metformin or other diabetes drugs, it might increase your risk of low blood sugar. Run your exact medications through the interaction checker below before you start.
