HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shilajit Fulvic Acid Complex 250 mg by Jarrow Formulas

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: shilajit fulvic acid complex, 250 mg per capsule. Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine.

The capsule itself is made up of inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, water, maltodextrin, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — which help hold and 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 for most of its traditional uses is not yet established in reliable human trials. We lack sufficient data to rate it for Alzheimer's disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), or osteoporosis.

If you're considering this product for any of these purposes, talk with your doctor about what the current evidence supports.

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 cases of headache have been reported in clinical research. A very rare but serious allergic reaction — including anaphylaxis — has been documented in one person, and a case of high blood pressure related to mineral imbalance occurred in a pregnant woman, though a direct link to shilajit wasn't confirmed.

The biggest safety concern is contamination: unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals or other contaminants, so use only purified, tested brands. Avoid this product during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough safety data, and contamination risk is a real concern.

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 medications — including insulin, metformin, glibenclamide, or any other blood sugar medication — check your exact drugs below before taking this product. The shilajit may boost their glucose-lowering effect and increase your 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 Fulvic Acid Complex may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional mineral support and don't take diabetes medications. If you take any antidiabetes drug, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the combination could lower your blood sugar more than intended.

Stick to purified, tested brands to avoid heavy metal exposure, and skip 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. 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 Fulvic Acid Complex 250 mg by Jarrow Formulas: Common Questions

Does Shilajit Fulvic Acid Complex 250 mg by Jarrow Formulas interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Shilajit Fulvic Acid Complex 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 Fulvic Acid Complex 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 this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data isn't there to say it's okay during pregnancy, and there's also a contamination risk. While breastfeeding, safety is unknown, so it's best avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about alternatives during these times.
Does shilajit actually work for what it claims?
The evidence we have doesn't yet support reliable claims for Alzheimer's disease, sexual function, athletic performance, prostate health, or bone strength. More research is needed before we can say it works for these uses.
What's the biggest safety concern with shilajit?
Unpurified shilajit can pick up heavy metals and other nasty contaminants. Make sure you buy a purified, tested brand — don't just grab the cheapest option. It matters here.
I'm allergic to a lot of things. Can I take this?
Allergies to shilajit itself are rare, but they can happen and may be serious. A documented case involved an allergic reaction that got worse with exercise and led to anaphylaxis. If you have a history of severe allergies, mention this product to your doctor or pharmacist first.
Could shilajit give me a headache?
Headache is rarely reported in clinical research with shilajit, so it's not a common side effect. If you do get one, it would be unusual.
