HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Shatavari by Himalaya

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.

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 3 ingredients, all forms of organic shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) — an extract and two powders. There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Shatavari is a traditional plant used in Ayurvedic medicine, though the data we hold doesn't establish reliable evidence for most of the conditions it's promoted for.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Asparagus Racemosus's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: adaptogen for female hormones and balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactation, menopause, hormonal balance, reproductive health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Asparagus Racemosus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lactation (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold rates shatavari as having insufficient reliable evidence for tuberculosis, lactation support, muscle strength, sexual desire, and bronchitis. That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the studies haven't been robust or plentiful enough to confirm it does.

If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor about whether the traditional use matches what you're hoping for.

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 in traditional use, but high-quality safety studies are limited. The product is best avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor advises otherwise.

If you're breastfeeding and interested in it for milk supply — shatavari is traditionally used that way — reliable safety data are lacking, so any use should be under professional guidance from your doctor or a lactation specialist.

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.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on lithium or any diuretic medication (water pills used for blood pressure or fluid buildup). Both interactions are rated Moderate and may need your doctor to adjust your dose or choose a different option.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Himalaya's Organic Shatavari is a traditional herbal product with two Moderate interactions to watch for: diuretics and lithium. If you take either, clear it with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Even if you don't take those drugs, the limited high-quality safety data mean it's worth a conversation with your healthcare provider, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a specific condition.

Organic Shatavari by Himalaya: Common Questions

Does Organic Shatavari by Himalaya interact with any medications?
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 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 to take while I'm pregnant?
No — safety during pregnancy isn't well established, so it's best avoided unless a doctor advises otherwise. If you're thinking about it for a pregnancy-related reason, talk with your obstetrician before starting.
Can I use this to boost my milk supply while breastfeeding?
Shatavari is traditionally used for that, but reliable safety data for breastfeeding are lacking. If you're interested, use it only under professional guidance — talk with your doctor or a lactation specialist first.
Does shatavari actually work for the things it's marketed for?
The evidence we have rates it as insufficient for tuberculosis, lactation, muscle strength, sexual desire, and bronchitis. Traditional use doesn't equal proven effectiveness in modern studies, so realistic expectations matter.
What are the side effects?
Adverse effects aren't documented in the data we hold. That said, high-quality safety studies are limited, so side effects may exist but haven't been thoroughly reported yet.
Are there any fillers or other ingredients in this?
No — the product contains only the organic shatavari itself (extract and powders). There are no inactive ingredients listed.
