HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Shatavari by Amazing India

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 is pure organic Shatavari powder — a single active ingredient, also called asparagus root. It's a traditional herb used in Ayurvedic medicine, though its effects on the conditions it's marketed for haven't been reliably established in clinical trials.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: female reproductive health and hormone balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: PMS, menopause, hormonal balance.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold on asparagus root for acne, cancer, constipation, high blood pressure, intestinal parasites, and kidney stones is insufficient to rate. That means the data either isn't there or isn't strong enough to say whether it works.

If you're considering it for one of these reasons, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Asparagus

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.

Asparagus eaten as food is generally well tolerated. However, medicinal doses and concentrated extracts like this powder are less well studied, so caution is advised.

Allergic reactions are possible, especially in people sensitive to onion, garlic, leek, or chive — other members of the same plant family. Reactions can range from itchy eyes and a runny nose to coughing, hives, throat tightness, trouble breathing, and rarely, anaphylaxis.

There are also reports of skin eruptions at the same spot after eating asparagus multiple times, and a study of a combination product containing asparagus root caused constipation, belly bloating and pain, nausea, dry mouth, and gallbladder issues in up to 50% of participants — though it's unclear whether asparagus alone was responsible.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Asparagus

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.
  • 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.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take a diuretic drug (water pill) or lithium. Both interactions are Moderate-severity — diuretics may lose more effect or cause extra electrolyte loss, and lithium levels could build up and require a dose change.

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 don't take a diuretic or lithium and have no allergies to asparagus-family plants, this product is generally tolerated. However, the medicinal form hasn't been studied as much as the food, and its effectiveness for the conditions listed isn't established.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you have any medications or a history of allergic reactions to alliums (onions, garlic, etc.).

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Shatavari has a known interaction with 76 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Shatavari 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.
Is Shatavari safe during pregnancy?
The data shows it's rated both Likely Safe and Possibly Unsafe for pregnancy — conflicting information in our data. That's a reason to talk with your doctor or midwife before taking it while pregnant, so they can advise you based on your own health picture.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
It's rated Likely Safe during lactation in our data. That said, any supplement during breastfeeding is worth confirming with your doctor or pharmacist.
What is Shatavari supposed to do?
Shatavari is a traditional Ayurvedic herb marketed for acne, cancer prevention, constipation, high blood pressure, intestinal parasites, and kidney stones. However, we don't have reliable evidence that it works for any of these conditions.
Could I have an allergic reaction?
Yes, if you're allergic to asparagus or to onions, garlic, leeks, or chives, you're at higher risk. Reactions can be mild (itchy eyes, runny nose, cough) or severe (throat tightness, trouble breathing). Stop and seek help immediately if you have trouble breathing or swallowing.
What side effects might I notice?
A study of a combination product containing asparagus root reported constipation, belly bloating and pain, nausea, and dry mouth in a large number of participants, though it's unclear if asparagus alone was the cause. Allergic reactions are also possible.
