HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shilajit 10,000 mg by Dorado 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 is a single-ingredient supplement: shilajit extract at 10,000 mg per capsule. Shilajit is a tar-like mineral-rich substance found in mountain rocks; the extract concentrates its active compounds.

The capsule itself contains inactive ingredients—hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide—that are standard binders and flow agents with no therapeutic role.

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 for shilajit's effectiveness is not established in the data we hold. The product is marketed for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and osteopenia (low bone density), but our data rates all of these uses as having insufficient reliable evidence.

That means the research so far hasn't been robust enough to confirm it works for any of them. Talk with your pharmacist about what you're hoping it will do for you—there may be other options with stronger evidence behind them.

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. One person developed a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) after taking a higher dose following physical activity, and another reported rare headaches.

One case of high blood pressure was reported in a woman using shilajit during pregnancy, but it's unclear whether shilajit was the cause. The biggest safety caution is contamination: unpurified shilajit products may contain heavy metals or other contaminants, so use only purified, tested brands like this one.

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 any antidiabetes drugs—insulin, metformin, glibenclamide, or others—double-check them with the search tool below before taking this supplement. Shilajit may make those medications work stronger 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.

If you're taking diabetes medication, check this product against your exact drugs before starting—shilajit can increase the risk of low blood sugar. The evidence for what it actually does isn't established yet.

It's generally well tolerated, but stick to purified brands to avoid heavy-metal contamination, and avoid it if you're pregnant or 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.

Shilajit 10,000 mg by Dorado Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Shilajit 10,000 mg by Dorado Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Shilajit 10,000 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?
Shilajit 10,000 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.
What is shilajit, and what is it supposed to do?
Shilajit is a mineral-rich tar-like substance from mountain rocks that's been used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine. This product contains 10,000 mg of shilajit extract per capsule. It's marketed for Alzheimer disease, sexual performance, athletic performance, prostate health, and bone density, but our data shows the evidence for any of those uses is insufficient right now.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Not without checking with your doctor or pharmacist first. Shilajit can boost the glucose-lowering effect of diabetes drugs, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Use the search tool on this page to check your exact medications, and your doctor may want to monitor your blood sugar more closely.
Is shilajit safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information about safety while breastfeeding, and the contamination risk alone makes avoidance the better choice during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're in either situation and interested in this supplement.
What side effects have been reported?
Most people tolerate it well. A small number of people have reported headache. One person had a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) after taking a higher dose along with exercise, and another case reported high blood pressure, though a causal link wasn't confirmed. Only use purified, tested brands to minimize contamination risk.
Why does this product say 10,000 mg if there's only one ingredient?
The 10,000 mg refers to the amount of shilajit extract in each capsule. That's the total dose of the active ingredient per serving.
What are the inactive ingredients, and do they matter?
The capsule contains hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide—standard binders and flow agents with no therapeutic role. They're there to hold the supplement together and help it dissolve. For most people they're fine, but let us know if you have sensitivities to any of them.
