HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shilajit Extract 100 mg Extra Strength by Swanson

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 Oct 1, 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: Tru-Fulvic Shilajit extract at 100 mg per capsule. Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—brown rice flour, hypromellose (a plant-based capsule material), and magnesium silicate (a flow agent)—which help deliver the active ingredient.

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 yet established in the data we hold. Claims around Alzheimer's disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and osteopenia all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence.

That means research so far hasn't been robust enough to draw firm conclusions about whether it works for these purposes.

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. Rarely, headache has been reported in clinical trials.

One case of a severe allergic reaction (hives progressing to anaphylaxis triggered by exercise) was documented in a woman taking higher doses. A case of high blood pressure related to mineral imbalances was reported in a pregnant woman, though a direct link to shilajit could not be confirmed.

Most importantly: unpurified shilajit products may contain heavy metals or other contaminants, so only use 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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any antidiabetes drugs (such as metformin, glibenclamide, or other blood sugar medications). Shilajit can enhance their glucose-lowering effect and raise your risk of low blood sugar.

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 mineral supplementation and don't take diabetes medication. If you take antidiabetes drugs, check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this—the risk of low blood sugar is real.

Avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, as safety data is insufficient. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider to decide if it's right for you.

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 100 mg Extra Strength by Swanson: Common Questions

Does Shilajit Extract 100 mg Extra Strength by Swanson interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Shilajit Extract 100 mg Extra Strength 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 100 mg Extra Strength 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 this if I'm pregnant?
No—the safety data advises against shilajit during pregnancy. There isn't enough safety information, and there is a contamination risk with unpurified products. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
No—safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so it's best to avoid it. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about alternatives.
Why does the label say 'purified'?
Because unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals and other harmful contaminants. Purified, tested brands like this one are much safer to use.
What is shilajit, exactly?
Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine. It's sourced from mountain regions and contains fulvic acid and other minerals.
Has shilajit been proven to work?
The evidence isn't strong enough yet. Claims about Alzheimer's disease, sexual function, athletic performance, prostate health, and bone density all lack reliable research at this time.
Can I take this with my diabetes medication?
Not without checking with your doctor first. Shilajit can lower blood sugar and may make your medication work too well, raising the risk of low blood sugar. Use the drug checker on this page or call your pharmacist to review your exact medications.
