Traditional Ayurvedic herb for women*

The Science of Shatavari: Recent research supports the traditional classification of Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) as a Rasayana, a dietary supplement or practice promoting rejuvenation, mental and physical health, as well as providing a defense against premature aging and challenging environmental factors. Shatavari has the general ability to promote normal physical functions and counteract the adverse effects of stress. In eight different stress tests, Shatavari produced significant anti-stress and immuno-stimulant effects.1 Studies have also shown that Shatavari increases the quantity of breast milk2 and possesses liver-protectant activity.3

Directions: Take 2 (500 mg) capsules, twice a day. For long-term rejuvenation, take 1 capsule, one to two times per day or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Not to be taken during pregnancy or by individuals avoiding estrogen-increasing substances. Keep out of reach of children.

Dosha Guide

In Ayurveda there are seven basic body constitutions resulting from the predominance of one or more energetic influences or Doshas. The Doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, influence physical, mental and spiritual health. Everyone is considered to be a unique combination of these three body influences. Your natural Doshic state of balance is called Prakruti. In traditional use, Shatavari?s cooling properties control disturbances in Vata and Pitta body constitutions.
