Himalaya Shatavari - 60 tablets with extract from Asparagus racemosus root

Himalaya Shatavari is a single-ingredient preparation: each tablet contains only extract from the root of Asparagus racemosus, a plant known in Ayurvedic tradition by the Sanskrit name shatavari. The manufacturer declares 250 mg of this extract in one tablet, and the package contains 60 tablets. The list of active ingredients is limited to this one item. Himalaya describes the formula as 100% vegetarian and free from sugar, artificial colors, artificial flavors, and preservatives; these are four separate declarations from the product card. The manufacturer recommends one tablet twice a day or a portion determined with a doctor.

Ingredients

• Extract from Asparagus racemosus root (shatavari) - 250 mg in one tablet
• Excipients necessary for tablet compression
• Sugar-free - manufacturer’s declaration
• Free from artificial colors and artificial flavors - manufacturer’s declaration
• Free from preservatives - manufacturer’s declaration
• 100% vegetarian formula - manufacturer’s declaration

Asparagus racemosus is a climbing shrub from the asparagus genus, related to the culinary asparagus, but it is not the same plant and has no culinary application. The raw material here is the tuberous roots, not the young shoots that we eat in the case of vegetable asparagus. This difference can be a source of misunderstandings when purchasing, especially when the product description stops at the word “asparagus.” Himalaya clearly indicates the root: “extract from Asparagus racemosus root,” without shortcuts. When comparing packages from different brands, first look at the species name and part of the plant, and only then at the numbers - these two things determine whether you are comparing the same product.

How to use

Himalaya provides a narrower scheme on the product card than with most preparations from this line:

• 1 tablet twice a day or as directed by a doctor
• Swallow the tablet whole, with water
• Most conveniently with meals, at regular times of the day
• Do not exceed the portion recommended by the manufacturer

Note that these are not ranges. With Gokshura, Guduchi, or Tulasi, the manufacturer allows one or two tablets at a time, but here it states one. If you are taking medications regularly or are under constant medical care, establish the use of herbal preparations with your doctor or pharmacist; the manufacturer treats such recommendations as superior to its own and repeats this on every card in this line.

For whom

This is a product for someone looking for a single raw material in a repeatable amount and prefers a tablet over powder that needs to be weighed. Shatavari is often purchased as powdered root to mix with warm milk or water - if you do not want to measure or taste the raw material, the tablet format solves both problems at once. The formula is declared as fully vegetarian and sugar-free, which can be important for longer supplementation and for a diet free from animal products. Check the allergen declaration on the package label. The product is not intended for children, and for pregnant and breastfeeding women, the manufacturer recommends prior consultation with a doctor.

Frequently asked questions

How much extract is in one tablet?

The manufacturer declares 250 mg of extract from Asparagus racemosus root in one tablet. The formula has one active ingredient. The package contains 60 tablets. The amount is the same in each tablet, so the serving does not depend on how accurately you measure the raw material, and the entire dosing comes down to counting tablets.

How many tablets does the manufacturer recommend daily?

The product card from Himalaya states: 1 tablet twice a day or as directed by a doctor. This is a narrower scheme than with several other preparations from the same line, where the manufacturer allows one or two tablets at a time. Stick to the scheme from this card, not from a neighboring product, and do not exceed the recommended daily portion.

Is this the same asparagus that I eat for dinner?

No. Asparagus racemosus belongs to the same genus as culinary asparagus, but it is a separate species and has a different use. The raw material here is tuberous roots, not young shoots that end up on the plate. It is worth remembering this when reading shortened descriptions that mention only the word “asparagus” without the species name.

Is the product vegetarian?

Yes. Himalaya describes the formula as 100% vegetarian and separately declares the absence of sugar, artificial colors, artificial flavors, and preservatives. However, for food allergies, check the label on the package before first use - this is where you will find the allergen declaration - and in case of doubts, ask us before purchasing.

Variants and category

The product is sold in one package size and does not have versions in drops or powder. In the same Ayurvedic line from Himalaya, there are also Himalaya Amalaki in tablets and Himalaya Tulasi - these are separate raw materials with their own compositions and dosing, not variants of the same recipe. We have gathered all of them in the Supplements category.
