HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shallakihills by Herbal Hills

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 23, 2026

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.

Shallakihills contains one active ingredient: Boswellia extract, a resin derived from the Boswellia serrata tree, traditionally used to support joint and respiratory health. The capsule also includes inactive ingredients — magnesium stearate, silica, and gelatin — which help form and preserve the capsule.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Boswellia Serrata's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Boswellia Serrata for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Osteoarthritis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Boswellia extract is possibly effective for osteoarthritis, meaning there's some evidence it may help. For other conditions the product may be marketed for — including hay fever (allergic rhinitis), Alzheimer disease, asthma, and cluster headaches — the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether it works.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work for those uses; it means the research data aren't established enough to say one way or another.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Boswellia Serrata

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.

Boswellia extract is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth short-term. The most common side effects in studies were stomach upset — abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn — as well as headache, itching, and dizziness.

A small number of trial participants reported headache (around 11% in one study) and dizziness or vertigo at lower rates. Rarely, very large amounts of Boswellia gum resin can form a bezoar (a hard mass in the stomach).

The safety data advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, so those situations call for a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist. Quality and dose vary widely between Boswellia products, so consistency matters.

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 — Boswellia Serrata.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 953 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.

Before taking Shallakihills, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any medications processed by the liver enzymes CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 — these include many blood pressure drugs, heart medications, anticoagulants, and some psychiatric medications. Also confirm if you take immunosuppressant drugs, which Boswellia may affect.

The interaction checker on this page can help you verify your specific medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Shallakihills may be worth considering if you have osteoarthritis and want to explore herbal support — though the evidence is preliminary. Because Boswellia interacts with a large number of medications through liver-enzyme pathways, you should check your exact prescriptions with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

If you take any blood pressure drugs, heart medications, blood thinners, or psychiatric medications, that conversation is especially important. Avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

General Statements

MULTIEFFECTIVE HERB

Batch No. : Exp. Date: Neutral Code # MH/PD/AYU/002/10

Supports Joint Health

Pure – Natural – Effective Sanskrit name of Boswellia Serrata is Salai guggulu. It has been used in Ayurveda for thousands of years as a safe support for healthy joint & muscle functions. Boswellia is considered to possess analgesic properties. By regulating the mediators of inflammation, Boswellia may exert a significant anti-inflammatory activity that may support reducing inflammation due to exercise or normal overuse. It helps soothe the joints & helps treat levels of synovial fluid which in turn may make the entire structure lubricated and easy to rotate or to move.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, Boswellia serrata might alter the effects of immunosuppressive drugs.
Some in vitro research suggests that Boswellia serrata extracts might inhibit mediators of autoimmune disorders such as leukotrienes and reduce production of antibodies and cell-mediated immunity. However, other in vitro research suggests that, when coupled with calcium ions, boswellic acids containing the keto group have immunostimulant properties within specific cell signaling pathways.

Is Boswellia safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Can I take this with my immunosuppressant medication?
Boswellia may alter how immunosuppressants work, so you shouldn't take them together without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first. They can assess the risk for your specific situation.
How much Boswellia is in each capsule?
The product facts don't specify the dose per capsule. Check the label on your bottle or contact the manufacturer for that detail.
