HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raw High-Himalayan Shilajit 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: organic Shilajit extract, a mineral-rich substance traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. Shilajit is derived from high-altitude mountain rock and is purported to support various aspects of health.

There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product.

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 isn't established for the uses this product is marketed toward. Shilajit carries insufficient reliable evidence to rate for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and osteoporosis.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the research we hold doesn't yet support a clear conclusion either way. If you're considering shilajit for any of these reasons, talk with your doctor about what the current evidence shows and whether a trial makes sense for you.

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 adverse effects have been reported. These include a rare case of severe allergy — one person developed hives at a higher dose and later anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction requiring emergency treatment) — and rare headache in clinical research.

There's also one case report of high blood pressure in a person who used shilajit during pregnancy, though a direct link wasn't confirmed. Because unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals or other contaminants, use only purified, tested brands.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you're pregnant or nursing and interested in shilajit, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

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 before taking this product. Shilajit may increase the blood-sugar-lowering effect of drugs like metformin and sulfonylureas, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

Your doctor or pharmacist can help you decide if it's right for you and whether your blood sugar needs closer monitoring.

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 might appeal to you if you're looking for a traditional mineral supplement, but the evidence for most of its claimed uses isn't established yet. The key precaution: if you take diabetes medication, this product can enhance its blood-sugar-lowering effect, raising your risk of low blood sugar.

Discuss shilajit with your doctor or pharmacist before you start, especially if you're on any antidiabetes drugs, and make sure you're using a purified, tested brand.

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.

Raw High-Himalayan Shilajit by Omica Organics: Common Questions

Does Raw High-Himalayan Shilajit by Omica Organics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Raw High-Himalayan 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?
Raw High-Himalayan 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 while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data, and there's a contamination risk, so it's best avoided during pregnancy. Safety is unknown while breastfeeding, so avoid it then too. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether shilajit makes sense for you at this stage of life.
Does it actually improve memory or brain health?
Shilajit carries insufficient reliable evidence for Alzheimer disease. That means the research we hold doesn't yet support a clear yes or no. Your doctor is the best person to discuss whether it might help and what evidence exists.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Shilajit is generally well tolerated. Rare effects include headache and, in one case, a severe allergic reaction (hives and anaphylaxis). One person also experienced high blood pressure, though a direct link to shilajit wasn't confirmed. If you have a history of allergies, talk with your pharmacist first.
What's the difference between purified and unpurified shilajit?
Unpurified shilajit may contain heavy metals or other contaminants. That's why we recommend using purified, tested brands — like this one — to minimize that risk.
I take diabetes medication. Is this safe for me?
Shilajit can enhance the blood-sugar-lowering effect of diabetes drugs, which raises your risk of low blood sugar. Before you start, check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist to see if it's safe for you and whether your blood sugar will need closer monitoring.
