HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Shatavari 4 g Unflavored by Nutricost

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: shatavari root extract (4 g per serving), derived from Asparagus racemosus, a plant used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. There are no inactive ingredients listed.

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 Asparagus Racemosus product and its label doesn't state a use — see Asparagus Racemosus'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 we hold doesn't establish whether shatavari works for any of its traditional uses — tuberculosis, lactation support, muscle strength, sexual desire, or bronchitis all carry insufficient reliable evidence ratings. That doesn't mean it's ineffective, only that high-quality human studies backing these claims aren't in our data.

If you're considering shatavari for a specific reason, it's worth asking your doctor what the current research says.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Asparagus Racemosus

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 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.

Shatavari is generally well tolerated based on its long history in traditional medicine, but high-quality safety studies are limited. It should not be used in pregnancy unless your doctor advises it — safety data are not well established.

For breastfeeding, shatavari is traditionally used to support milk supply, but reliable safety data are lacking, so use only under professional guidance from your doctor or pharmacist.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Asparagus Racemosus

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 — Asparagus Racemosus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 76 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 lithium or any diuretic medication (water pills), double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product. Both carry Moderate interactions with shatavari root extract.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

This single-ingredient product is a traditional herb with limited modern evidence for any specific condition. If you take lithium or a diuretic water pill, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
