Shatavari 60 Capsules

Asparagus 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 means ‘one hundred roots’, but it is commonly referred to as ‘the woman 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 help to support the production of milk in lactating mothers.

Gynaecology: Shatavari is the foremost uterine tonic in Ayurvedic practice, traditionally used in support of regular, comfortable menstrual cycles. As a possible female fertility tonic it may support both conception and uterine strength. Shatavari may also be very useful for menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, irritability, irregular memory and dryness.

Digestion: the bitter and sweet qualities of Shatavari are traditionally used to soothe the mucous membranes of the digestive tract. For gastric over-acidity with sour reflux and a burning stomach it is regarded in Ayurveda as a cooling herb, and its demulcent (soothing) properties are traditionally valued for comfort of the stomach lining.

Ingredients

Other ingredients: Vegetarian capsule, natural flow agent and microcrystalline cellulose.

Directions

Take one (1) to two (2) capsules per day after a meal, or as directed by your health care provider.
