HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shatavari by Hawaii Pharm

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 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: asparagus racemosus root extract in dried form. Asparagus racemosus, commonly called shatavari, is a plant used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

The liquid formulation also includes alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

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 Racemosus product and its label doesn't state a use — see Asparagus Racemosus'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's effectiveness is not established in the data we hold. The ingredient carries insufficient reliable evidence ratings for tuberculosis, lactation support, muscle strength, sexual desire, and bronchitis — meaning there isn't enough high-quality research yet to say whether it works for these uses.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence 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.

Asparagus racemosus root is generally well tolerated based on its long history in traditional use, but high-quality safety studies are limited. The safety data don't support use during pregnancy, so it's best avoided unless your doctor specifically advises otherwise.

It is traditionally used to support milk supply, but reliable safety information for breastfeeding is lacking — use only under professional guidance if you're nursing. No adverse effects are documented in the data we hold.

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 you start, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take lithium or any diuretic drugs (water pills). Both carry a Moderate-severity risk: lithium levels could rise dangerously, and diuretics' water-shedding effects could be amplified, leading to electrolyte loss.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Shatavari may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional Ayurvedic support, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established yet. If you take lithium or any diuretic medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — the interaction risks are real.

Avoid it during pregnancy unless your doctor advises you otherwise, and don't use it while breastfeeding without professional guidance.
