Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is a traditional Ayurvedic herb long used to support hormonal balance, reproductive wellbeing, and postpartum recovery. It is a different species from common culinary asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) and contains a unique profile of naturally occurring phytoestrogenic compounds.

These Organic Shatavari Capsules contain 100% certified organic shatavari root powder with no fillers, binders, preservatives, or common allergens.

Why consider shatavari?

Shatavari root naturally contains steroidal saponins and phytoestrogens such as shatavarins, saponins, asparagamine, racemosol, polysaccharides, mucilage, folic acid, sarsasapogenin, flavonoids, and polyphenols. These compounds have been traditionally understood to support hormonal balance, stress resilience, and reproductive health.

Shatavari has a long history of use as a galactagogue in India and is included in the official Ayurvedic pharmacopeia for this purpose. Modern research exploring its effects on lactation shows mixed results overall, but several well‑designed studies have reported encouraging outcomes [1]. These include increases in serum prolactin, greater milk volumes, earlier breast fullness, and improved infant weight gain compared with placebo. A recent review also noted consistent increases in milk volume among mothers receiving shatavari [2].

While individual responses vary and no herbal product can replace effective milk‑removal practices, these findings support its traditional use as part of a holistic approach to lactation support.

Allergies to asparagus family plants Those with known allergies to asparagus or related species should avoid shatavari.
