Swanson Shatavari Extract delivers a time-honored herb in a standardized form for consistent support. Shatavari is one of the most esteemed herbs for women in the Indian tradition of Ayurveda. In this ancient wellness system, it is used to nourish the female reproductive organs and bring balance to fluctuating hormone levels in various life stages. Ayurveda classifies Shatavari as a "cooling, calming" agent that tones down the "hot" emotions like anger and irritability.
Now, shatavari is gaining attention for a wealth of benefits for women. As a source of diosgenin and phytoestrogens, this traditional reproductive health herb has been clinically studied for its potential to promote comfort during hormonal fluctuations of menstruation, perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause.1,2 It may also ease symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, occasional anxiousness, mood disruptions and even immune health challenges exacerbated by daily stressors.1
Other studies have focused on shatavari’s support for gastrointestinal health. Thanks to the prebiotic activity of its bioactive constituents, it promotes a thriving microbiome. Sometimes called asparagus root extract, shatavari encourages the growth of beneficial Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. These probiotic microbes work to produce the short-chain fatty acids that support gut lining integrity, immune response, gut-brain axis activity, and healthy function of the central nervous system.3
