HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shatavari 500 mg 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

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: Shatavari powder, derived from Asparagus racemosus root, at 500 mg per capsule. The capsule also includes cellulose as an inactive ingredient (a plant fiber used to form the capsule shell).

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: support female reproductive system and hormone balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactation, Menopause, PMS, Hormonal balance.
  • The closest evidence on file: Asparagus Racemosus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lactation (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for Shatavari is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for tuberculosis, lactation support, muscle strength, sexual desire, or bronchitis.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means large, well-designed human studies haven't been done yet. If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence actually shows.

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 sparse. No adverse effects are listed in our data.

For pregnancy, safety is not well established, so it's best avoided unless your doctor advises otherwise. If you're breastfeeding, the herb is traditionally used to support milk supply, but reliable safety data are lacking — use it only under professional guidance from your doctor or pharmacist.

Because safety information is limited, mention this supplement to your healthcare provider before starting.

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take lithium or any diuretic drug (water pills) — both carry Moderate interaction risks with this product. Lithium levels are the bigger concern; your dose may need adjustment.

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.

Shatavari may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional herbal support, but the evidence for its effectiveness in humans is thin. If you take lithium or a diuretic medication, you'll need to clear it with your doctor or pharmacist first — these interactions are Moderate and could affect your drug levels.
