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.

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

Himalaya's Organic Shatavari contains 3 active ingredients, all derived from the same plant — organic shatavari extract and organic shatavari powder (listed twice). Shatavari, also called asparagus racemosus, is a traditional Ayurvedic herb used to support overall wellness.

There are no inactive ingredients (fillers or binders) listed for this product.

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 menstrual comfort.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactation, menstrual cycle support, hormonal balance, menopausal symptoms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Asparagus Racemosus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lactation (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for shatavari's effectiveness isn't well established in our data. The product is traditionally used for tuberculosis, bronchitis, muscle strength, sexual desire, and to support milk production during lactation, but reliable clinical evidence to rate these uses is insufficient.

If you're considering it for any of these purposes, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the evidence supports for your specific situation.

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 traditional use, though high-quality safety studies are limited. No adverse effects are documented in the data we hold.

During pregnancy, safety hasn't been well established — the data advises against use unless your doctor specifically recommends it. If you're breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed and interested in shatavari to support milk supply, there isn't enough reliable data to know if it's safe, so talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take lithium or any diuretic (water pill) medications. Both interactions are Moderate in severity — lithium levels could climb, and water pills' effects might strengthen.

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 herb generally well tolerated when used as directed. If you take lithium or any water pills (diuretics), you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine.

Pregnant people should avoid it unless their healthcare provider advises otherwise. Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist to see if it's right for you.
