evidence for shatavari (asparagus racemosus)
Our honest take
Two caplets give 500 mg of shatavari root extract standardised to 25% saponins, plus 500 mg of stem powder and 300 mg of root powder. Shatavari is an Ayurvedic herb with very little good human research and no authorised claims, so we make no claims about what it does. At about 39p a day it is reasonably priced if you want to try it.
- You want a standardised shatavari extract from an established Ayurvedic brand
- You prefer caplets to powder
- You are allergic to asparagus
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a hormone-sensitive condition
- You take diuretics or diabetes medicines without checking with your GP
The science
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus)· evidence: Insufficient
Shatavari is the root of a wild asparagus used in Ayurvedic tradition, particularly in products for women. Most research is laboratory or animal work, and good-quality human trials are scarce.
There are no authorised health claims for shatavari, so we make no claims about what it does.
Typical dose: Products typically give 500 mg to 2 g of root powder or extract a day.
Safety: Avoid if you are allergic to asparagus. Avoid in pregnancy and breastfeeding, and if you have a hormone-sensitive condition, as safety data are limited. Speak to your GP first if you take diuretics, diabetes medicines or other regular medication.
