Does Shatavari Help With Shatavari root extract shows moderate clinical evidence a...?

Evidence Summary

Shatavari root extract shows moderate clinical evidence as a galactagogue, with a small RCT (n=113) demonstrating significantly increased breast milk volume and shorter time to breast fullness at 72 hours postpartum compared to placebo (PMID: 41055223). In perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, it dose-dependently reduces vasomotor symptoms, menstrual discomfort, bone resorption markers, and vascular dysfunction (PMID: 40347163, PMID: 40434025). In women with PCOS, it significantly reduced psychological stress scores and follicular count while increasing endometrial thickness over 12 weeks, though ovarian volume and hormonal levels were unchanged (PMID: 41816216). It also shows modest improvements in female sexual function, particularly when combined with Ashwagandha (PMID: 41710148).
