Shatavari Powder: Description

The shatavari powder available at Terzaluna comes directly from India, where the root of the wild Indian asparagus (Asparagus racemosus) is transformed into a fine powder following the ancient methods of Ayurvedic tradition. This root powder is known as the "friend of women" herb for its traditional support of female well-being.

The shatavari powder is valued in Ayurvedic medicine for its rasayana (rejuvenating) properties and as a natural ally for women at every stage of life, from fertility to menopause.

Shatavari: What is the Indian Asparagus Root from India

Shatavari, also known as wild Indian asparagus, is a precious plant in the realm of Ayurvedic medicine, whose root is transformed into powder, preserving all its virtues. Scientifically known as Asparagus racemosus, Shatavari is appreciated in Indian tradition for its rasayana properties, a Sanskrit term indicating rejuvenating and invigorating qualities, and for its adaptogenic properties that help the body manage physical and emotional stress.

According to Ayurveda, this plant can stimulate energy and vigor by promoting a psycho-physical balance. The meaning of its name in Sanskrit, "she who possesses a hundred husbands", alludes to the ability attributed to the plant by Ayurveda: to particularly invigorate the female reproductive system and improve fertility.

This plant belongs to the Asparagaceae family and is mainly found in India, Africa, and Australia. Characterized by woody, spiny, climbing stems and thin leaves resembling pine needles, Shatavari blooms in July with small white flowers and bears fruit in September with purple-black berries. It prefers the gravelly and rocky soils of the high foothills of India, where it can grow up to 2 meters in height. The roots of Shatavari are a concentrate of therapeutic properties. The fine powder of shatavari has a distinctive sweet-bitter taste, easily mixable in hot and cold drinks.

Properties and Benefits of Shatavari Root Powder

The roots of Shatavari, once dried and processed, become a powerful ally for health, particularly for women's health. The properties of shatavari are numerous; we recommend consulting scientific databases that contain studies conducted on the plant for those who wish to delve deeper.

Shatavari and Female Fertility: The Women's Friend Root

Shatavari is celebrated in Ayurvedic tradition as an extremely beneficial plant for women, so much so that it is nicknamed the "friend of women" herb.

Additionally, Shatavari is known for its galactagogue properties that stimulate the production of breast milk, thus supporting new mothers during the breastfeeding phase. This root is recommended by Ayurvedic practitioners primarily to women to enhance the functions of the reproductive system and to promote a serene and healthy motherhood.

Active Ingredients of Shatavari Root Powder

Shatavari is a plant with an extraordinarily rich chemical composition, contributing to its numerous health benefits. Among the minerals it contains are zinc, copper, and potassium, as well as essential vitamins like vitamin A and vitamin C, which give the plant adaptogenic, digestive, and antioxidant properties.

The active ingredients found in the root of Shatavari, the part of the plant most commonly used in dried form to create supplements in powder or tablet form, are numerous and diverse. Among these are:

  • Asparagine: an amino acid that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism.
  • Saponins: including shatavaroside A and B, filiasparoside C, and asparanin B, substances known for their immunomodulatory and adaptogenic properties.
  • Flavonoid glycosides: such as quercetin, rutin, and hyperoside, powerful antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
  • Isoflavones: plant compounds similar to estrogens that may have positive effects on hormonal balance.
  • Essential fatty acids: including gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Polycyclic alkaloid: Asparagamine A, an organic compound that may have beneficial effects on neurological health and the immune system.
  • Glycosides: molecules that perform various biological functions within the body.
  • Oligospirostanosides: compounds with potential effects on the endocrine system.
  • Polysaccharides and Mucilages: substances that contribute to the regulation of intestinal transit and the protection of mucous membranes.

The combination of these active ingredients makes shatavari powder a particularly versatile and effective natural supplement, capable of providing support at various levels for overall physical well-being.

Contraindications and Precautions

Although shatavari powder is generally well tolerated and not known to have significant side effects, there are some precautions to consider before using it. It is advisable to avoid taking Shatavari if you are already using diuretic medications or if you suffer from kidney or heart conditions, due to its natural diuretic effects. In these cases, it is essential to inform your doctor before starting this supplement.

During pregnancy, it is particularly important to consult your gynecologist before taking the Shatavari root. Although it is a plant that promotes fertility and offers relief from menstrual and menopausal disorders, during pregnancy it could have undesirable effects as it acts as a uterine muscle tonic. Caution is therefore recommended to ensure the safety of both the mother and the developing child.
