Taking Shilajit After Kidney Transplant Surgery: Risks Explained In New Guide

NutroTonic has released a new guide on whether it is safe to take shilajit supplements after kidney transplants.

-- In the guide, NutroTonic explores how shilajit can support kidney function in healthy individuals but notes that those who have received kidney transplants must take extra precautions to avoid possible side effects. Transplant patients who are still interested in taking the supplement for its benefits are encouraged to read the guide to understand the risks involved.

Shilajit is a traditional Ayurvedic herb that has been used to boost vitality and longevity for hundreds of years. This unique substance can only be found at high altitudes in the Himalayas, the Altai Mountains, and other stony mountains, and it is formed by predominantly biological processes: microbes break down vegetation that has been trapped between rocks, creating a tar-like exudate that is rich in amino acids, essential fatty acids, over 80 essential minerals, and other nutrients that can boost overall health with consistent consumption.

Moreover, shilajit is known to contain high concentrations of fulvic and humic acid, which have powerful antioxidant effects and anti-inflammatory properties, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, respectively. Because these humic substances also support detoxification by accelerating the excretion of heavy metals and toxins from the body, many researchers have begun examining the effects of the herb on kidney function. While studies on animal models suggest that shilajit can reduce kidney stress markers and toxicity and prevent kidney damage from acute renal failure, NutroTonic notes that there have yet to be any trials performed on kidney transplant patients, making it risky for post-transplant use.

In its guide, NutroTonic explains that shilajit can interact with immunosuppressant medications that transplant patients must take. The herb may interfere with metabolism by liver enzymes, affecting the absorption of medications like Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine and potentially reducing their effectiveness. Additionally, because shilajit stimulates the immune system, it may increase the patient’s risk of organ rejection.

NutroTonic’s guide adds that many fake and low-quality shilajit products contain contaminants such as heavy metals, mycotoxins, and pesticides, which can stress both original and transplanted kidneys. Unless shilajit supplements are explicitly recommended by a nephrologist, the guide recommends that transplant patients instead stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and maintain their electrolyte levels after their surgery to ensure a smooth recovery.
