HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Shatavari Powder by Nova Nutritions

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 a single active ingredient: certified organic Shatavari powder, which is derived from asparagus root. Asparagus is a plant from the Liliaceae family (the same family as onions and garlic).

The powder form delivers the herb in concentrated amounts, which is different from eating asparagus as food. There are no other active ingredients or fillers 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 product and its label doesn't state a use — see Asparagus'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 for Shatavari supporting acne, cancer, constipation, high blood pressure, intestinal parasites, or kidney stones is insufficient to rate. We hold no effectiveness data establishing that this product reliably works for any of these uses.

If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the research actually shows.

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. 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 other members of the Liliaceae family (onions, garlic, leeks, chives). Symptoms can include itchy eyes, runny nose, coughing, hives, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, and in rare cases anaphylaxis.

One clinical trial of a combination product containing asparagus root reported constipation, bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, dry mouth, and gallbladder issues in up to 50% of participants, though it's unclear if asparagus alone was responsible. Gout was reported in about 2% of trial participants in that same study.

For pregnancy, the data shows mixed signals: asparagus is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy, but also Possibly Unsafe. For lactation, it's rated Likely Safe.

Because the pregnancy data is unclear, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this during pregnancy to weigh what you know about your situation.

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 diuretic drugs (water pills like furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide) or lithium. Both have Moderate-severity interactions with asparagus root.

Diuretics and lithium require careful dosing, so any supplement that affects how your body handles fluids or clears medication deserves a conversation with your provider.

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.

This is a single-ingredient asparagus root powder with no established effectiveness for the conditions listed in our data. If you take diuretics or lithium, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding it — the interactions are real enough to warrant a conversation.

If you have a known allergy to asparagus or other plants in its family, avoid it. Your own healthcare provider can tell you whether it makes sense for you.

Organic Shatavari Powder by Nova Nutritions: Common Questions

Does Organic Shatavari Powder by Nova Nutritions interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Shatavari Powder 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 Powder 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.
What exactly is Shatavari?
Shatavari is the Sanskrit name for asparagus root, a plant used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Nova Nutritions' version is a certified organic powder form of this root.
Can I take this if I'm allergic to garlic or onions?
Be cautious. Asparagus belongs to the same plant family as garlic, onions, leeks, and chives (Liliaceae). If you're sensitive to any of those, you may react to asparagus too. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before trying it.
Is it safe to take while pregnant?
The data we hold is mixed — asparagus is rated both Likely Safe and Possibly Unsafe in pregnancy. Because of this unclear picture, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it during pregnancy so you can make a decision based on your own health.
Does this really work for acne or constipation?
We don't hold evidence establishing that Shatavari reliably works for acne, constipation, or the other conditions listed. The evidence is rated insufficient. If you're looking for help with one of those issues, your doctor can point you toward treatments with stronger support.
What are the side effects?
Allergic reactions are possible — itchy eyes, runny nose, coughing, hives, and trouble swallowing. A clinical trial of a combination product containing asparagus root reported digestive upset (constipation, bloating, nausea) and gallbladder complaints in up to half the participants, though it's unclear if asparagus alone caused it.
Can I use this with my water pill or lithium?
Not without checking first. Asparagus root may theoretically increase the effects of diuretics and alter how your body clears lithium. This requires a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist — these medications are dose-sensitive and interact with substances that affect fluid and electrolyte handling.
