HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shatavari by Motherlove

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 Jul 11, 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 has one active ingredient: shatavari (Asparagus racemosus root), a plant used in traditional medicine. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—sunflower lecithin, modified cellulose, and medium chain triglyceride—which are common binders and carriers.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: women's reproductive health and lactation support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactation, breast milk supply, menopausal symptoms, reproductive health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Asparagus Racemosus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lactation (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for shatavari's effectiveness isn't well established in our data. For the conditions studied—tuberculosis, lactation support, muscle strength, sexual desire, and bronchitis—the available research is insufficient to make a reliable rating.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, that's worth discussing with your pharmacist or doctor.

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, but high-quality safety studies are limited. Adverse effects haven't been documented in our data.

Shatavari is traditionally used to support milk supply, but reliable safety data are lacking—use only under professional guidance if you're breastfeeding. During pregnancy, safety isn't well established, so it's best avoided unless your doctor advises otherwise.

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 take Motherlove Shatavari, check whether you're on lithium or any diuretic drug (like furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, or spironolactone). Both carry moderate-severity interaction risks.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Shatavari is a single-ingredient Ayurvedic supplement generally well tolerated in traditional use, but evidence for its benefits remains insufficient. If you take lithium or any diuretic medication, you'll need to check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.

Pregnant people should avoid it unless advised by their doctor; breastfeeding people should use it only under professional supervision.

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?

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.
