HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shilajit 250 mg by Vedic 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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 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.

This product contains one active ingredient: shilajit exudate in powder form, 250 mg per tablet. Shilajit is a mineral pitch that seeps from rock in high mountain ranges and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries.

The tablet also holds inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and ethylcellulose — that help form and bind the pill.

Does it work?

No specific claim
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
General wellness

This Shilajit product is marketed for general wellness, not a specific health condition, so there's no single claim to grade — see Shilajit's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“Energy and vitality support”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.

The evidence we hold does not establish reliable effectiveness for the claimed uses in this product. Shilajit has been studied for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostate enlargement (BPH), and weak bones (osteopenia), but the research is too thin or unclear to rate it as effective for any of them.

If you're thinking about it for a specific health goal, your pharmacist or doctor can help weigh what the broader science says.

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 rare side effects have been reported: one person developed a severe allergic reaction (hives and anaphylaxis) after increasing their dose to 800 mg, and headache has been reported rarely in studies. One case linked shilajit use during pregnancy to dangerous high blood pressure and low potassium, though other ingredients or contaminants in that product may have played a role.

Because of insufficient safety data and contamination risk, shilajit should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always buy a purified, tested brand to reduce the chance of heavy metals or other contaminants.

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 blood sugar medications (antidiabetes drugs like metformin or glibenclamide) before taking shilajit — it may make them work stronger and lower your blood sugar too much. If you take any diabetes drug, your pharmacist or doctor should weigh the risks with you first.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable 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 the scientific evidence for its health claims is not yet solid. If you take diabetes medication, talk to your pharmacist before starting it — the interaction risk is real.

Choose only purified, tested brands, and steer clear of it if you're pregnant or nursing.

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 250 mg by Vedic Supplements: Common Questions

Does Shilajit 250 mg by Vedic Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Shilajit 250 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 250 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.
Can I take shilajit if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The data on safety during pregnancy is too sparse and the contamination risk is real, so shilajit should be avoided during pregnancy. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid it then too. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about alternatives.
What does shilajit actually do?
Shilajit is a mineral pitch used in traditional medicine. We hold research on whether it helps with Alzheimer disease, sexual function, athletic performance, prostate health, and bone strength — but the evidence is too thin right now to say it works for any of those. That doesn't mean it won't work for you, just that we can't confirm it yet.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Most people tolerate it well, but rare cases of headache have been reported. One person developed a severe allergic reaction (hives and anaphylaxis) when they jumped from 400 mg to 800 mg in one dose, so stick to the dose on your label. Make sure you're buying a purified, tested brand — unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals.
Will this interfere with my diabetes medication?
Yes — it's the main interaction to watch for. Shilajit can lower blood sugar on its own and make diabetes drugs work stronger, raising your risk of dangerously low blood sugar. If you take any antidiabetes medication, use the search tool on this page to check your exact drugs, then talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
How do I know if a shilajit product is purified and safe?
Look for a brand that's been third-party tested and clearly states it is purified. Unpurified products may hold heavy metals or other contaminants. The facts here call out that safety concern — it's why you should stick with tested brands only.
