HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shilajit 1,000 mg by Double Wood Supplements

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.

Shilajit 1,000 mg by Double Wood Supplements contains a single active ingredient: shilajit extract. Shilajit is a mineral-rich resin that comes from mountainous regions and has been used in traditional medicine.

The product also includes hypromellose, an inactive ingredient used to form the capsule.

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 supporting shilajit for the conditions it's marketed for—Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and osteopenia (low bone density)—is not yet established in the data we hold. Each of these carries a rating of insufficient reliable evidence, meaning there isn't enough research to say whether it works for these uses.

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.

A few safety concerns warrant attention. Shilajit is generally well tolerated, but rare cases of headache have been reported in clinical research.

One documented case involved a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) that developed after a dose increase, requiring emergency treatment. Unpurified shilajit products may contain heavy metals or other contaminants, so choose only purified, tested brands.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy due to contamination risk and lack of safety information. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so it is best avoided.

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 with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any antidiabetes medications—including insulin, metformin, glibenclamide, or other diabetes drugs. Shilajit can enhance their blood-sugar-lowering effect and increase your risk of low blood sugar.

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 may be worth considering if you're interested in exploring traditional remedies, but the strongest evidence we have is its interaction with diabetes medications—and that's a reason to be cautious. If you take any diabetes drug, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Stick with purified, tested products to avoid contamination risks, and avoid it during pregnancy and while 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.

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 shilajit if I have diabetes?

Are there any side effects?
Shilajit is generally well tolerated. Headache is rare. Severe allergic reactions are very uncommon but have been documented. Always choose purified, tested products to avoid contamination with heavy metals.
