According to available research, Shilajit is believed to be safe for long-term use as a dietary supplement. However, it's important to be aware of potential side effects associated with its use. One potential side effect of Shilajit is its ability to lower blood pressure. This can be particularly concerning for individuals who are already taking medications to manage high blood pressure. If you have a history of hypotension or an active heart disease, it is advisable to avoid Shilajit to prevent a further decrease in blood pressure. Furthermore, Do not take Shilajit if you have sickle cell anemia, hemochromatosis (too much iron in your blood), or thalassemia as Shilajit may cause allergic reactions.
It's worth noting that natural supplements, including Shilajit, are not regulated by the FDA. Therefore, it is crucial to obtain Shilajit from a reputable source to ensure its quality and safety. Inferior quality Shilajit products may be contaminated with heavy metals, free radicals, and in some cases, even arsenic. Our Shilajit Panax Ginseng product is 3rd-party tested for Heavy Metals and consumers can find the lab report on this page.
To mitigate potential risks and ensure safe usage, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or an Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide personalized advice based on your specific health needs and circumstances.
