Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is one of the most revered herbs in the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia, classified as a Rasayana — a rejuvenating tonic that promotes longevity, vitality, and resilience. Its Sanskrit name translates to "she who possesses a hundred husbands," a traditional reference to the herb's profound support for female reproductive health and vitality.
The primary bioactive compounds are steroidal saponins known as Shatavarins (particularly Shatavarin I, II, III, and IV), along with isoflavonoids, alkaloids (asparagamine A), polysaccharides, mucilage, and flavonoids including quercetin and rutin. These compounds collectively underpin Shatavari's phytoestrogenic, adaptogenic, immunomodulatory, and gastro-protective properties.
SV Botanica sources Shatavari roots from certified cultivation zones in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan — regions recognised for producing roots with consistently high saponin content. Our extraction process uses a validated water-ethanol system to preserve the full saponin profile, yielding a clean, yellowish-brown fine powder that disperses readily in formulations.
We supply leading supplement brands, Ayurvedic manufacturers, functional food companies, and contract formulators across Europe, the USA, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. New buyers can start with our Shatavari extract buyer's guide for sourcing and specification benchmarks.
