HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shilajit 200 mg by Based 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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: shilajit, a mineral-rich substance traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. At 200 mg per tablet, it's the sole component — there are no other active ingredients or fillers listed.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence on shilajit's effectiveness isn't established in our data. We rate it as having insufficient reliable evidence for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and osteopenia (low bone density).
That means human studies are either too small, too few, or too mixed to say whether it works for these conditions.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Shilajit is generally well tolerated, though a small number of cases have been reported. One person developed an allergy that worsened with exercise, leading to a severe reaction (anaphylaxis) after repeated doses; another reported rare headache.
One case of high blood pressure was linked to shilajit use during pregnancy, though a direct cause wasn't proven. During pregnancy, the safety data advises against it — there isn't enough data on safety, and there's a contamination risk.
Avoid it while breastfeeding; safety is unknown. Unpurified shilajit may contain heavy metals or other contaminants, so use only purified, tested brands.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your exact medications before taking this product, especially antidiabetes drugs like metformin or glibenclamide — shilajit can increase their blood-sugar-lowering effect and raise the risk of hypoglycemia (Moderate severity).
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 traditional remedies, but evidence for its benefits is sparse. If you take diabetes medications, talk to your pharmacist before starting — there's a real risk of low blood sugar.
Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it.
Always choose a purified, tested product.

Shilajit can lower blood sugar (glucose) levels, and when combined with diabetes medications like metformin or glibenclamide, it may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Animal studies show shilajit boosts the glucose-lowering effect of these drugs over several weeks.

Shilajit
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.
