HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Shatavari Powder by Banyan Botanicals

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

Shatavari Powder contains one active ingredient: shatavari (asparagus racemosus root). In Ayurvedic and traditional medicine, it's been used for a range of purposes including supporting lactation, respiratory function, and general wellness.

There are no inactive ingredients listed for this product.

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: reproductive health and lactation support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lactation, Sexual desire, Female hormone balance, Menopausal symptoms.
  • 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 we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate shatavari for tuberculosis, lactation support, muscle strength, sexual desire, or bronchitis. That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means high-quality clinical trials haven't established how well it performs for these uses.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist about what the research actually supports.

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 safety studies are limited. Safety during pregnancy is not well established, so you should avoid it in pregnancy unless a doctor advises otherwise.

It's traditionally used to support milk supply during breastfeeding, but reliable safety data for that use are lacking — if you're breastfeeding and interested in shatavari, use it only under professional guidance from your doctor or pharmacist.

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding shatavari powder if you take lithium or any diuretic drugs (water pills). Animal research suggests the herb may interfere with how your body handles both, and the interaction is rated moderate in severity.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Shatavari powder may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional herbal support, but it's not a proven remedy for any specific condition based on current evidence. If you take diuretics or lithium, you'll need to clear it with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Avoid it in pregnancy, and talk with your healthcare provider before using it while breastfeeding.

Formula

Shatavari Powder (Asparagus racemosus) Organic ayurvedic herbs

Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is a rejuvenating herb that cools the body and strengthens and nourishes the tissues. Traditionally used to maintain the healthy production of female hormones, shatavari may be translated as "100 spouses," implying its role in promoting fertility and vitality. As a nutritive tonic, it encourages the healthy production of milk in lactating mothers and the healthy production of semen in would-be fathers. It is also useful during menopause and for women who have had hysterectomies. Shatavari supports a healthy immune system and assists in both physical and mental digestion. Its unctuous quality soothes the membranes of the lungs, stomach, kidneys, and reproductive organs.

Shatavari Powder by Banyan Botanicals: Common Questions

Does Shatavari Powder by Banyan Botanicals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Shatavari Powder 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 Powder 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 this while pregnant?
No — safety during pregnancy is not well established, so it's best avoided unless a doctor specifically advises you otherwise. Talk with your obstetrician or pharmacist before considering it.
Is it safe for breastfeeding?
Shatavari is traditionally used to support milk supply, but we don't have reliable safety data for breastfeeding use. If you're breastfeeding and interested in trying it, use it only under professional guidance — check with your doctor or lactation specialist first.
Does shatavari actually work for anything?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate it for tuberculosis, lactation support, muscle strength, sexual desire, or bronchitis. It's been used in traditional medicine for centuries, but we don't yet have high-quality clinical trials to confirm how well it performs for these uses.
What are the side effects?
No adverse effects are documented in the data we hold. The herb is generally well tolerated based on traditional use, but high-quality safety studies are limited, so uncommon effects may not be well characterized yet.
Can I take this with my water pill?
Don't take it without checking first — animal research suggests shatavari root may have its own diuretic effect at high doses, and combining it with your prescription diuretic could theoretically increase fluid and electrolyte loss. Run it past your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
What is shatavari used for?
In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, shatavari (asparagus racemosus root) has been used to support lactation, respiratory health, muscle strength, sexual function, and general wellness. However, we don't have enough reliable evidence to confirm how well it works for any of these uses.
