HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shatavari by Mama's Select

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 capsule contains one active ingredient: shatavari (asparagus racemosus root), an herb used in traditional Ayurvedic practice. The remaining contents are inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — that serve as binders and capsule material.

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: promote natural milk production.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactation, breast milk supply, galactagogue effect, nursing support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Asparagus Racemosus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lactation (Natural Medicines).

The evidence supporting shatavari for its traditional uses is not established in the data we hold. Our records show insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for tuberculosis, lactation support, muscle strength, sexual desire, and bronchitis.

If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current research actually shows and whether it's right for you.

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 long history in traditional use, but high-quality modern safety studies are limited. Safety during pregnancy is not well established, so the guidance is to avoid it in pregnancy unless a doctor advises otherwise.

While it's traditionally used to support milk supply during lactation, reliable safety data for breastfeeding are also lacking — if you're nursing and interested in this product, use it only under professional guidance from your own healthcare provider.

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 taking Shatavari, make sure your doctor or pharmacist knows if you take lithium (a mood stabilizer) or any diuretic drugs — including common water pills. Both carry Moderate interaction risks that may require dose adjustments or closer monitoring.

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 is an herbal supplement with a traditional use history but limited modern safety evidence and two documented medication interactions — most notably with lithium and diuretics. If you take either of those, or any prescription medication, check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding warrant a conversation with your healthcare provider too.

Shatavari by Mama's Select: Common Questions

Does Shatavari by Mama's Select interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, 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?
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 or breastfeeding?
Safety in pregnancy is not well established, so it's best avoided unless your doctor advises otherwise. While shatavari is traditionally used to support milk supply, reliable safety data for breastfeeding are also lacking — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in either situation.
Does shatavari actually work for what it's marketed for?
The evidence supporting shatavari for tuberculosis, lactation, muscle strength, sexual desire, and bronchitis is insufficient in the data we hold. Our records don't establish its effectiveness for these uses. Talk with your doctor about what the current research shows if you're considering it for a specific health goal.
What is shatavari used for traditionally?
Shatavari (asparagus racemosus root) has been used in Ayurvedic practice for various purposes, including supporting lactation, muscle strength, sexual function, and respiratory and tuberculosis-related concerns — though modern reliable evidence for these uses is limited.
Are there any side effects listed for this product?
No adverse effects are documented in the data we hold for shatavari. That said, safety data are limited overall, so if you experience anything unusual after starting it, mention it to your doctor or pharmacist.
What's in the capsule besides the herb?
The capsule contains microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — all standard inactive ingredients that help hold the capsule together and aid absorption.
