Shatavari, also known as Asparagus racemosus, has been a part of Indian ayurvedic medicine for centuries in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and the Himalayas. Shatavari means “who possesses a hundred husbands or acceptable to many.”
It is considered both a general tonic and a female reproductive tonic. Shatavari also may be translated as “100 spouses”, implying its ability to increase fertility and vitality. It is the central Ayurvedic rejuvenating tonic for the female, as is Withania (Ashwagandha) for the male.
The primary active constituents of Asparagus racemosus are steroidal saponins (Shatavarins IIV) that are present in the roots. The roots also contain phytochemicals such as Sterols, Flavanoids, Kaempferol, oligosaccharides, or carbohydrates. In addition, it is rich in phytoestrogens, which are responsible for balancing various hormones in the body. These hormones regulate emotions and feelings, stimulating the production and release of “happy” hormones such as dopamine, serotonin, or endorphins.
Different studies have shown that Shatavari actively improves Female libido (phytoestrogens), hormonal imbalance (phytoestrogens), Female reproductive health (steroidal saponins), lactation, and the immune system (sapogenin).
