HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shilajit Extract 500 mg by Bronson
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
Bronson's Shilajit Extract contains one active ingredient: shilajit extract at 500 mg per capsule. Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine.
The capsule also holds inactive ingredients (modified cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide), which are standard binders and flow agents.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for shilajit's effectiveness is not established in the data we hold. We rate it as having insufficient reliable evidence for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and osteoporosis.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work—just that the research isn't strong enough yet to call it proven.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Shilajit is generally well tolerated, though a small number of adverse effects have been reported. These include a rare case of severe allergy (with hives and anaphylaxis triggered by exercise), rare headache, and a case of high blood pressure linked to mineral imbalances after months of use—though the role of shilajit in that case couldn't be confirmed.
Because shilajit products can contain heavy metals or other contaminants if not properly purified, use only tested, purified brands. The safety data advises against shilajit during pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to contamination risk and insufficient safety information.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use antidiabetes drugs like metformin, glibenclamide, or any other diabetes medication. Shilajit can increase their glucose-lowering effect, raising your risk of low blood sugar.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Shilajit extract may appeal to people looking for traditional support, but the evidence for what it does is not established yet. If you take antidiabetes medications, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—low blood sugar is a real risk.
Make sure you buy a purified, tested product, and avoid it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

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.

Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
