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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
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
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
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
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.

Shatavari by Organic India Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Shatavari by Organic India interacts with diuretic drugs and lithium through its asparagus racemosus root content.
The most serious concern is with lithium: the root may reduce how your kidneys clear lithium, causing it to build up in your blood. Your lithium dose might need to be lowered if you take this supplement.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Diuretic drugs (water pills) are a Moderate concern. Animal studies suggest the root has diuretic effects at high doses, so combining it with your diuretic medication could increase fluid loss and electrolyte imbalances—though this hasn't been reported in humans.
Altogether, these interactions span 76 individual medications.
If you take either lithium or a diuretic, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting Shatavari, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's safe for you.
