HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Shatavari by Herbal Secrets

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 3, 2026

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: organic Shatavari powder (asparagus root). Shatavari is a traditional herbal root used in Ayurvedic practice.

The product also includes organic Shatavari root powder as an inactive ingredient.

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: support female reproductive system health.
  • We looked for evidence on: PMS, menopause, hormone balance, female reproductive health.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that Shatavari works for the conditions it's sometimes used for — acne, cancer, constipation, high blood pressure, intestinal parasites, or kidney stones all carry a rating of insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the data available to us hasn't demonstrated effectiveness for these uses.

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 as food is generally well tolerated, but medicinal doses and concentrated extracts are less well studied, and caution is advised with those forms. Allergic reactions can occur — especially in people sensitive to onions, garlic, leeks, and chives — and may include itchy eyes, runny nose, coughing, hives, trouble swallowing, trouble breathing, or rarely anaphylaxis.

A combination product containing asparagus root caused constipation, belly pain and bloating, nausea, dry mouth, and gallbladder complaints in up to half of trial participants, and gout in roughly 2% — though it's unclear whether asparagus alone was responsible. Pregnancy safety is mixed in our data: one rating says likely safe and another says possibly unsafe, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product during pregnancy.

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.

Check your medications against this product if you take lithium or any diuretic drug (water pill) — both carry moderate interaction risk with asparagus root's diuretic effects.

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.

Shatavari is traditionally used but lacks established effectiveness for most conditions in our data. The main concern is interaction with lithium and diuretics — if you take either, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Allergic reactions are possible, especially if you're sensitive to onion-family plants. Use the interaction tool on this page with your exact medications before you begin.

Organic Shatavari by Herbal Secrets: Common Questions

Does Organic Shatavari by Herbal Secrets 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 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.
Can I take Shatavari if I'm pregnant?
Our data shows conflicting safety information for pregnancy — one rating says likely safe and another says possibly unsafe. You'll need to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you during pregnancy, since the evidence we hold isn't clear-cut.
Can I take Shatavari while breastfeeding?
Our data rates asparagus as likely safe during lactation. That said, medicinal doses haven't been studied as thoroughly as food doses, so it's worth confirming with your doctor or pharmacist if you have any concerns.
Will Shatavari help with my constipation?
We don't have reliable evidence that Shatavari works for constipation. Interestingly, a combination product containing asparagus root actually caused constipation in some trial participants, though it's not clear if asparagus alone was responsible.
Can I have an allergic reaction to Shatavari?
Yes, if you're sensitive to plants in the onion and garlic family — leeks, chives, and others — you could have an allergic reaction. Symptoms range from itchy eyes and runny nose to hives, trouble swallowing, or trouble breathing. Anaphylaxis is rare but possible.
What is Shatavari used for?
Shatavari (asparagus root) is used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine, but our data doesn't show reliable evidence that it works for acne, cancer, constipation, high blood pressure, parasites, or kidney stones.
