HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shatavari Extract by Herbadiet

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: organic Shatavari and Shatavari root extract. Both are forms of the same plant, Asparagus racemosus, traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine.

The capsule shell itself is made from vegetable cellulose, an inactive ingredient.

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: increase breast milk production and hormonal balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactation.
  • The closest evidence on file: Asparagus Racemosus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lactation (Natural Medicines).

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that Shatavari works for any of the conditions it's traditionally claimed to support — including tuberculosis, lactation support, muscle strength, sexual desire, or bronchitis. All of these are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the clinical data isn't strong enough yet to say one way or the other.

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 root extract is generally well tolerated based on its traditional use, but high-quality safety studies are limited. The safety data during pregnancy aren't well established, so it's best avoided in pregnancy unless your doctor specifically advises you to take it.

It's traditionally used to support milk supply, but reliable safety data for breastfeeding are lacking — if you're nursing and interested in this product, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Asparagus Racemosus

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 this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take lithium or diuretic drugs (water pills). Animal research suggests Shatavari root may affect how your body handles these medications and could require dose adjustments.

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.

Herbadiet's Shatavari Extract may appeal to you if you're interested in traditional Ayurvedic herbs, but the clinical evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold. If you take lithium or any diuretic medication, you'll want to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Pregnant and breastfeeding people should also talk it over with their healthcare provider first.
