SFERA BIO NUTRITION - Shatavari 60 Capsules

Asapragus racemosus commonly known as Shatavari is a woody, climbing plant native to India, Sri Lanka, Asia, and Australia. The Shatavari root is used in Ayurvedic medicine and may assist with general well-being. Sfera Shatavari is made from a Shatavari extract with a minimum saponin level of 20%.

In Ayurvedic medicine Shatavari mean ‘one hundred roots’, but is commonly referred to as ‘the women who has a hundred husbands’. As this name suggests it is a renowned tonic for the female reproductive system.

Lactation: Shatavari contains steroidal saponins mainly shatavarins that helps to increase the production of milk in lactating mothers.

Gynaecology: Shatavari is the foremost uterine tonic. Primarily used as a menstrual regulator in irregular and heavy periods. The added anti-inflammatory action of the herb is a helpful addition.

As a possible female fertility tonic it may enhance both conception and uterine strength.

Shatavari may be very useful for menopausal symptoms with hot flushes, irritability, irregular memory and dryness.

Digestion: The bitter and sweet qualities of shatavari may help to soothe inflammation of the mucous membranes in gastro-intestinal conditions like colitis, Crohn’s disease, inflammation and pain. For conditions of gastric hyper acidity with sour reflux and burning stomach it is a cooling anti-inflammatory. Its demulcent properties may be used for healing bleeding ulcers and gastritis.
