HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pure Himalayan Shilajit 40,000 mg by Number One Nutrition

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 has one active ingredient: shilajit extract, a mineral-rich substance traditionally used as a supplement. The capsule also contains two inactive ingredients—cellulose and BergaFlow—which serve as fillers and capsule material.

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: energy, vitality, athletic performance and cognitive support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Male infertility, Sexual dysfunction, Sexual desire, fatigue, stamina — 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 we hold doesn't establish that shilajit works for any of the conditions it's marketed for—Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and osteopenia (low bone density) all carry ratings of insufficient reliable evidence. That means the research so far hasn't been strong enough to say whether it helps or doesn't.

Talk with us about whether this product makes sense for what you're hoping to treat.

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.

The safety data raises a couple of flags. Shilajit products can contain heavy metals or other contaminants, so it's important to use only purified, tested brands—which this one claims to be.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, and the contamination risk makes it best avoided. Breastfeeding safety is unknown, so avoid it then too.

In rare cases, people have reported headache after taking shilajit. There's also a case report of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) in one person, though it happened after doubling the dose, and one case of high blood pressure linked to a mineral imbalance during pregnancy—though the role of shilajit itself couldn't be confirmed.

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 antidiabetes drugs with us before starting—shilajit can increase the risk of low blood sugar when you're on these medications. No other interaction categories are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check.

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 a single-ingredient supplement with limited evidence behind most of its marketed uses. The main medication concern is antidiabetes drugs—it may increase low-blood-sugar risk.

If you take blood sugar medication, check with us first. Pregnant and breastfeeding people should avoid it.

Make sure any shilajit you buy is purified and tested for contaminants.

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.

Pure Himalayan Shilajit 40,000 mg by Number One Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Pure Himalayan Shilajit 40,000 mg by Number One Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pure Himalayan Shilajit 40,000 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?
Pure Himalayan Shilajit 40,000 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.
Does shilajit actually work for memory or brain health?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough yet to say. Alzheimer disease is listed as insufficient reliable evidence—so we can't confirm it helps. Talk with us about what you're hoping to treat and whether there are other options with better-established support.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
No. There isn't enough safety data, and shilajit products can contain heavy metals or contaminants, so it's best avoided during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or planning to be, skip this one and talk with your doctor or us about safer options.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
Safety isn't known while breastfeeding, so avoid it. There's not enough data to say it's safe for your baby, and contamination is a concern. Check with us or your doctor for a safer alternative.
Will this help with my blood sugar if I'm on metformin?
This is a conversation you need to have with us or your doctor first. Shilajit can lower blood sugar on its own, and when combined with metformin or other blood sugar medications, it may increase the risk of low blood sugar. We can help you figure out if it's right for you.
What's in this besides shilajit?
Just shilajit extract and two inactive ingredients—cellulose and BergaFlow—which are the capsule material and filler. No extra additives.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Headache is reported rarely. There's also a rare case of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) reported in one person. Most people tolerate it without issues, but if you have any signs of allergy—hives, swelling, or trouble breathing—stop and get help right away.
