About Product
Shatavari root is produced by extracting the plant’s root, also known as Asparagus racemosus.
Shatavari root has been used for centuries in the ancient system known as Ayurvedic. It is native to India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, and its name translates to “she who possesses a hundred husbands” in Sanskrit.
It is believed to have various benefits, and traditionally, it was used as a tonic to support overall health potentially and is still used today. The root is known for its bitter taste and can be boiled, dried, powdered, used in many dishes, or taken as a supplement.
