Pale cream tapering shatavari roots, clustered, dry and fibrous. ← The FormularyLong game

Shatavari

Also known as Asparagus racemosus
CEVIDENCE

Traditional use, thin modern evidence, small dose.

The honest take
At 50 mg this is a formulation flourish rather than an active. It is listed because everything in a formula should be listed, not because it earns the space. The KSM-66 is why NERVE exists.
What it is
The root of a climbing asparagus native to India, used in Ayurveda as a general tonic.
How it works
Not established.
What it does
Traditionally used for resilience and recovery. We make no specific claim for it.
Who it's for
Nobody standalone.
How to use it
As the product directs.
What to expect
Nothing distinguishable.
The research
Grade C here means traditional use with thin modern support — and none at this dose. Treat any strong claim about it with suspicion.

Read the labelContains phytoestrogens. Avoid in pregnancy, while breastfeeding unless a doctor has said otherwise, and with any hormone-sensitive condition. Anyone with an asparagus allergy should also skip it.

Evidence grades describe how well an ingredient is studied — A well-supported, C emerging — not a promise of results. Educational, not medical advice. Doses are typical ranges; follow the label on the product.
