Shatavari powder comes from the roots of the Asparagus racemosus plant. This is related to the asparagus you see in your local grocery store, called Asparagus Officinalis, but it’s not the same plant. Asparagus racemosus is native to India.
Shatavari is an adaptogenic herb. Although there isn't much scientific research to support these claims, adaptogenic herbs are used to help regulate the hormones produced by the hypothalamic, pituitary, and adrenal glands. Like all adaptogenic herbs, Shatavari can be used to help your body manage stress and improve your overall health.
