Shilajit side effects
As with any supplement, it is possible to experience side effects when taking Shilajit. They include:
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Upset stomach
- Diarrhea
- Low blood pressure
- Hives, rash, or trouble breathing due to allergic reaction
“The side effects of well-sourced and appropriately administered Shilajit are rare, but in cases of intolerance or allergy, discontinue use and consult your ayurvedic practitioner,” says Kirsten Ahern, a clinical ayurvedic specialist and founder of Path Wellbeing. If you experience a severe allergic reaction (such as trouble breathing), seek immediate medical care.
Taking Shilajit without an expert’s supervision is risky, considering there is no concrete scientific evidence to determine a standard dose for this supplement. Meaning, you could accidentally take too much. One of the possible results of this is an iron overload. Since Shilajit contains iron, taking too much within a short time may cause excess iron to accumulate in different body organs, including the heart, liver, and spleen, potentially damaging these organs in some people.
Is Shilajit safe for everyone?
According to Silcox, Shilajit is known as a sacred herb in ayurveda—but that doesn’t mean it is safe for everyone. If you take any medications, be sure to check with your prescribing healthcare provider to avoid potential drug interactions. People on hypertensive medications, specifically, may want to avoid Shilajit as the combination may cause a drastic drop in blood pressure. Other people who should not use Shilajit include:
- Pregnant people
- Nursing mothers
- Children
People with the following conditions should not take Shilajit without consulting a healthcare provider first:
- People who are on medications like diuretics, antidiabetic medications, and immunomodulators
- People with hemochromatosis
- People with active heart disease
Regardless of who is taking the medication, it is important to purchase Shilajit powder or resin from a reputable company and verify its purity. Supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so contamination is possible. It’s important to work with an educated provider or practitioner who can recommend the best brands to buy.
Bottom line: Should you take Shilajit?
Shilajit is a powerful supplement traditionally used to build strength and boost fertility. Ayurvedic practitioners see it as a master herb for boosting energy, mood, memory, brain health, blood sugar balance, and the overall detoxification and oxygenation of the body.
But “nobody should ever take Shilajit without consulting with their ayurvedic clinician or other qualified holistic healthcare practitioners,” Ahern says. Healthcare practitioners will advise the best use of Shilajit —whether to take it every day and in what form a person should take it.
