HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shilajithills 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

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.

Shilajithills is a single-ingredient product containing Shuddha Shilajit (purified shilajit), a mineral-rich substance used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. The capsule also includes inactive ingredients—magnesium stearate, silica, and gelatin—which help bind and deliver the active component.

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.

We don't have reliable evidence in our data to say shilajit works for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), or osteoporosis. The evidence for these uses is currently insufficient.

If you're considering this product for any of these reasons, talk with your doctor about what the research actually supports and whether it makes sense for you.

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 adverse events are reported. One case involved a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) when a woman who'd taken 400 mg daily for 3 months suddenly took 800 mg; she developed hives and then anaphylaxis requiring emergency treatment.

Headache has been reported rarely in research. A case of high blood pressure related to mineral imbalance was reported during pregnancy, though shilajit's exact role is unclear.

During pregnancy, the safety data advises against use because there isn't enough safety information and contamination risk exists. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so avoid it.

Critically, only use purified, tested brands—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 any antidiabetes drug—including metformin, glibenclamide, insulin, or other blood sugar medications—check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product. Shilajit can enhance 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.

Shilajithills may appeal to you if you're interested in traditional herbal support, but the evidence for its claimed uses is not yet established. If you take any diabetes medication, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first because shilajit can lower blood sugar.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Avoid it.

And always buy from a reputable, tested brand to minimize contamination risk.

Vitality & Revitaliser

Pure – Natural – Effective The ancient medical literature attributes many health benefits of Shilajit known as "Conqueror of 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 the 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.

Shilajithills by Herbal Hills: Common Questions

Does Shilajithills by Herbal Hills interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Shilajithills 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?
Shilajithills 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.
Is this safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. During pregnancy, the safety data advises against shilajit because there isn't enough information and contamination risk exists. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so it's best avoided then too. Talk with your doctor if you're thinking about it.
Does shilajit actually work for any of these uses?
The evidence in our data is insufficient for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, enlarged prostate, and osteoporosis. That means we don't have reliable proof it works for these conditions yet. Your doctor can discuss what research actually exists and whether it's worth trying.
What are the side effects?
Shilajit is generally well tolerated. Headache has been reported rarely in research. One case of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) is on record after a dose increase, and another case of high blood pressure during pregnancy use was reported, though shilajit's direct role wasn't confirmed.
Should I worry about contaminants in this product?
Yes—unpurified shilajit can contain heavy metals and other contaminants. That's why the safety data emphasizes using only purified, tested brands. Make sure this product is tested and certified.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
You need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Shilajit can lower blood sugar and may enhance the effect of diabetes medications, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
