HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shilajit Extract by Paradise

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 contains one active ingredient: Himalayan Shilajit Extract, a mineral-rich resinous substance from the Himalayas. The capsule also contains cellulose as an inactive filler.

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 in the data we hold. It's been studied for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and osteopenia (low bone density), but in each case there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works.

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 headaches have been reported in clinical research. A single case of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) has been documented, along with one case of a rash (hives) that worsened with physical activity.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy — not enough information is available and there's a contamination risk. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so it should be avoided.

One critical note: only use purified, tested brands, because unpurified products may contain 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.

If you take antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, glibenclamide, or others), check your exact medications with the tool below before adding this product. The documented interaction is Moderate severity and involves a 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 Extract might be worth considering if you're interested in its traditional uses, but the scientific evidence for its effectiveness hasn't been established yet. If you take any antidiabetes medication, talk to your pharmacist before starting this product — there's a documented risk of low blood sugar.

Always buy a purified, tested brand.

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 Extract by Paradise: Common Questions

Does Shilajit Extract by Paradise interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Shilajit Extract 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 Extract 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.
Does shilajit really work for memory or sexual function?
The evidence isn't established yet in the data we hold. It's been studied for both, but there isn't enough reliable information to say whether it actually works for either one.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it during pregnancy because there isn't enough information and contamination is a risk. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid it then too. Talk to your doctor if you're considering it.
What's in this besides the shilajit?
Just cellulose, which is an inactive filler in the capsule. The active ingredient is the Himalayan Shilajit Extract itself.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Headaches are rarely reported. One severe allergic reaction and one case of a rash have been documented. More important: only use purified, tested brands — unpurified products may contain heavy metals or other harmful contaminants.
What if I'm on diabetes medication?
This is important — shilajit can lower blood sugar on its own and may enhance the effect of antidiabetes drugs, raising the risk of dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting, and talk to your pharmacist or doctor.
