HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shatavari by Herb 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.

Herb Pharm's Shatavari contains one active ingredient: shatavari root extract from Asparagus racemosus. It's prepared as a liquid extract in a base of distilled water and certified organic cane alcohol.

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: system restoration and reproductive health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactation, Sexual desire, menopausal symptoms, women's health, hormonal balance.
  • The closest evidence on file: Asparagus Racemosus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lactation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Asparagus Racemosus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Sexual desire.

The evidence for shatavari hasn't been established in the data we hold. The product is traditionally used for several purposes — including supporting lactation, muscle strength, sexual desire, and lung health — but we don't have reliable evidence ratings for any of these claims yet.

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 its traditional use, though high-quality safety studies are limited. Safety during pregnancy is not well established, so the data advises against use in pregnancy unless a doctor specifically recommends it.

It's traditionally used to support milk supply, but because reliable safety data are lacking, use during breastfeeding only under professional guidance.

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 before using shatavari if you take diuretic drugs (water pills) or lithium. Both are Moderate-severity concerns, and your medications may need adjusting if you combine them with this product.

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 appeal to you if you're interested in traditional herbal support, but the evidence for what it does hasn't been firmly established in our data. The main thing to watch is if you take a diuretic or lithium — those need a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist first.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, talk it over with your healthcare provider before starting.
