Himalaya Shatavari

Shatavari, scientifically known as Asparagus racemosus, has been revered in Ayurveda for centuries as the "queen of herbs" for female health. Its name translates to "she who possesses a hundred husbands," a nod to its historic use in supporting fertility and vitality in women. As a powerful adaptogen and phytoestrogenic herb, it plays a pivotal role in balancing hormonal functions and enhancing general well-being.

Himalaya Wellness is globally recognized for its commitment to blending traditional Ayurvedic principles with modern scientific validation. Himalaya Shatavari is formulated using high-quality Shatavari root extract, standardized to ensure consistent potency, safety, and efficacy. It adheres to stringent quality protocols and is trusted by healthcare practitioners worldwide.

Shatavari mimics estrogenic activity through its natural phytoestrogens, helping balance hormonal fluctuations in women. As an adaptogen, it stabilizes physiological processes and promotes homeostasis under stress.

Saponins like shatavarins contribute to the herb's estrogen-like activity, while flavonoids provide antioxidative protection and anti-inflammatory benefits.

By modulating pituitary and ovarian hormones, Shatavari helps regulate the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and estrogen-progesterone balance.

Shatavari inhibits pro-inflammatory markers and enhances immune tolerance, supporting the body's defense mechanisms while reducing inflammation-related discomfort.

• May potentiate the effects of estrogen-based medications
• Could interfere with immunosuppressive therapy
• Exercise caution when used alongside other adaptogenic or hormone-modulating herbs
• Allow a gap of 1-2 hours between Himalaya Shatavari and conventional drugs to minimize interaction risk

• Individuals with a known allergy to Asparagus species
• Patients with estrogen-dependent tumors such as breast, ovarian, or uterine cancers
• People with chronic kidney disorders prone to fluid retention or electrolyte imbalance

While Himalaya Shatavari is a potent herbal ally for hormonal balance, it should not be mistaken for prescription-grade hormone therapy. Individuals diagnosed with hormonal disorders requiring synthetic estrogen or progesterone should not attempt to replace prescribed medications with this supplement without explicit medical approval.

Patients with multifactorial health profiles such as those with endocrine abnormalities, autoimmune disorders, or cancer histories require professional evaluation prior to use. The interaction between botanical phytoestrogens and pharmaceutical regimens can be unpredictable and warrants personalized oversight by a healthcare provider.

Continuous, unsupervised intake of phytohormonal supplements can disrupt natural endocrine feedback loops. This may lead to altered menstrual cycles, breast tenderness, or hormonal resistance. Periodic assessment ensures optimal benefits without unintended physiological shifts.

• Liver Impairment: Metabolism of active herbal constituents may be delayed, increasing systemic exposure.
• Kidney Impairment: Potential for fluid retention or electrolyte imbalance.
• Cardiac Conditions: Monitor for sodium sensitivity or fluctuations in blood pressure due to fluid modulation.
• Endocrine Disorders: Patients with thyroid dysfunction or diabetes should be monitored for hormonal sensitivity or glycemic variability.

Long-term herbal therapy should be approached cyclically. A structured regimen such as 6 weeks on, followed by 2 weeks off, allows the body to recalibrate and reduces the risk of dependency or tolerance. Reassessment during the off-cycle can help refine dosage and identify any adverse trends.

Individuals with a known allergy to Asparagus or related plants should avoid Shatavari. A patch test or single-tablet trial under observation may help rule out mild hypersensitivity.

Sudden shifts in menstruation, spotting, or sensitivity in breast tissue may indicate excessive estrogenic stimulation. These should be reported promptly and may necessitate a pause in supplementation.

To prevent cumulative hormonal effects, avoid combining Shatavari with other herbs like Black Cohosh, Dong Quai, or Red Clover unless directed by a healthcare professional.

• Metabolic Slowing: Reduced hepatic and renal clearance may amplify bioavailability, necessitating dose reduction.
• Polypharmacy Risk: Interactions with cardiovascular, antidiabetic, or hormone-regulating medications should be considered.
• Monitoring: Start with a low dose and titrate gradually with clinical observation.

• Lactation Support: Traditionally used to enhance breast milk production, particularly during postpartum recovery.
• Early Pregnancy Caution: Lack of conclusive safety data in the first trimester necessitates caution. Avoid unless prescribed.
• Medical Oversight: Only use under obstetrician or midwife guidance to ensure safety for both mother and child.

• Age Restriction: Not recommended for children under 12 years due to insufficient clinical data and hormonal implications.
• Formulation Considerations: Adult tablets may not be appropriate for pediatric use in terms of dosage and delivery method.
• Professional Guidance: Any pediatric application must be managed by a pediatrician or Ayurvedic specialist trained in herbal medicine.

• Severe abdominal discomfort
• Diarrhea or vomiting
• Breast engorgement or breakthrough bleeding
• Fatigue or dizziness from hormonal imbalance

If a large number of tablets are ingested accidentally, initiate hydration and seek immediate medical attention. Activated charcoal may be administered in acute care settings to limit systemic absorption.

There is no specific antidote. Management is primarily symptomatic: monitor vital signs, maintain fluid balance, and correct electrolyte disturbances if present. Hospitalization may be warranted in severe cases.

• Store in a secure area out of children's reach to prevent accidental ingestion
• Avoid direct contact with moisture or contaminants; always use clean, dry hands to handle tablets
• Dispose of expired or unused tablets responsibly, preferably through a pharmacy take-back program or according to local biomedical waste protocols
