HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shatavari by Organic India

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.

Shatavari contains one active ingredient: asparagus racemosus root, a traditional botanical used in Ayurvedic medicine. The capsule also contains pullulan as an inactive ingredient (a capsule material and binder).

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 healthy reproductive system.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactation, Sexual desire, Menopause, Female fertility.
  • 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 isn't established in the data we hold. Our sources rate it insufficient reliable evidence for tuberculosis, lactation support, muscle strength, sexual desire, and bronchitis.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means rigorous human studies haven't been done yet or the results are unclear. If you're considering it for one of these purposes, talk with your doctor about what the current research suggests.

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 in traditional use, but high-quality safety data are limited. No adverse effects are listed in our data.

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

No side effects were reported in trials we have on file.

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, double-check lithium with your doctor or pharmacist—the root may cause it to build up in your blood. Also confirm any diuretic water pills you're on.

If you take either, your dose or timing might need adjusting.

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 Ayurvedic support, but the evidence for specific benefits isn't yet clear. If you take lithium or a water pill, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
