HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shilajit 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 Sep 10, 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: shuddha shilajit, a purified form of shilajit, a mineral-rich substance traditionally used in herbal medicine. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients—silicon dioxide, maize starch, and the HPMC capsule material itself—which are fillers and binders that give the supplement its form.

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 isn't established yet for the conditions we have data on. For Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and osteoporosis, we hold insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works or not.

That doesn't mean it doesn't; it means the science isn't there yet to prove it does.

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 cases have been reported. One person developed hives and later anaphylaxis after taking a higher dose, especially with exercise.

Headache has been reported rarely in clinical research. Because unpurified shilajit may contain heavy metals or other contaminants, use only purified, tested brands.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. One case linked shilajit to high blood pressure and low potassium in a pregnant woman, though the role of shilajit itself couldn't be confirmed.

Because there isn't enough safety data in either situation, talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

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 with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you're on any antidiabetes drugs—insulin, metformin, glibenclamide, or any other diabetes medication. Shilajit can lower blood sugar and may enhance the glucose-lowering effect of your medications, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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 herbal support, but the evidence for specific health claims isn't solid yet. If you take any diabetes medication, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first—shilajit can lower blood sugar and might increase the risk of it dropping too low.

Make sure you're using a purified, tested brand, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Back to nature

Vitality support

~ Pure ~ Natural ~ Effective

The ancient medical literature attributes many health benefits of Shilajit known as "Conqueror or mountains & destroyer of weakness." It is decomposition of the plant matter in the rocks centuries before. The transformed plant matter is extruded from the rocks by geothermal pressures. It is collected in raw form for purification. Shilajit is considered to increase the core energy responsible for sexual and spiritual power. It helps to counteract debility and general fatigue.

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 by Herbal Hills: Common Questions

Does Shilajit by Herbal Hills interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Shilajit 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 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—safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in either situation.
What's the risk of an allergic reaction?
Allergy to shilajit is rare but serious. One documented case progressed from hives to anaphylaxis (a life-threatening reaction requiring emergency treatment) after a higher dose, especially with physical activity. This is unusual, but if you've had reactions to supplements or herbal products before, mention that to your doctor or pharmacist.
Why does the label say to use only purified brands?
Unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals or other contaminants. That's why buying from tested, reputable brands—like Herbal Hills—matters for safety.
What's shuddha shilajit?
Shuddha means purified in Sanskrit. It's the cleaned, processed form of shilajit, a mineral-rich substance used in traditional herbal medicine.
Does shilajit actually work for Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, or other conditions?
The evidence isn't established yet for those uses. We have insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't—more research is needed.
