HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shiljat 1000 mg by aSquared Nutrition

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 extract at 1000 mg per capsule. Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine; the extract form concentrates its components.

The capsule also contains methylcellulose, an inactive ingredient that serves as a binder.

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. For the conditions listed — Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and osteopenia (low bone mineral density) — all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence.

That means the research so far isn't strong enough to say whether it works or doesn't. If you're considering shilajit for any of these, talk with your doctor about what the current science 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, but a few cautions matter. The product label warns that unpurified shilajit may contain heavy metals or other contaminants, so only use purified, tested brands like this one.

Rarely, headache is reported after taking shilajit. One case of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) has been documented — a woman developed hives and then anaphylaxis after taking a higher dose, though she'd tolerated a lower dose for months.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data and contamination risk exists, so it's best avoided. While breastfeeding, safety is unknown, so avoid it too.

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 (like metformin, glyburide, or other blood sugar medications), check your exact medications with the tool below before taking shilajit — it may increase their effect and raise the 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.

If you have no blood sugar medication, this product has no documented interactions we can verify. If you take antidiabetes drugs, check with your pharmacist first — shilajit may strengthen their effect and lower your blood sugar too much.

The effectiveness evidence isn't solid yet for the conditions listed. Because of pregnancy and breastfeeding safety concerns, avoid it if you're pregnant or nursing.

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.

Shiljat 1000 mg by aSquared Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Shiljat 1000 mg by aSquared Nutrition interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Shiljat 1000 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?
Shiljat 1000 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 if I use insulin or blood sugar medications?
Not without checking first. Shilajit may boost how well your diabetes drugs work, which could lower your blood sugar too much. Talk with your pharmacist about your specific medications and whether shilajit is safe for you.
Is shilajit safe to take while pregnant?
No — there isn't enough safety data, and contamination risk exists. The product label advises against it during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or planning to be, skip this product.
Can I use shilajit while breastfeeding?
No. Safety while breastfeeding is unknown, so the label recommends avoiding it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer options.
Does this work for Alzheimer disease or sexual dysfunction?
The evidence isn't there yet — the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence for both. That doesn't mean it doesn't work, just that research hasn't established it yet. Your doctor is the best person to discuss whether it's worth trying.
What side effects has shilajit caused?
Headache is reported rarely. A severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) has occurred in one documented case. If you develop hives, swelling, or trouble breathing after taking it, stop and seek immediate help.
Why does the label say to use only purified shilajit?
Unpurified shilajit products can contain heavy metals or other contaminants. This brand is purified and tested, which is why purity matters when you choose a shilajit supplement.
