Shatavari root extract may support women’s sexual wellness

San Francisco Research Institute & Patil University of School and Medicine (India) November 2 2026 (Int'l Journal Women's Health)

In Ayurvedic medicine, Shatavari (wild Asparagus) is traditionally well-known for supporting hormonal (gonadotropin-releasing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH], luteinizing hormone [LH], estrogen, and progesterone) balance and improving physical and emotional health. It plays an important role in sustaining healthy estrogen during menopause. In addition, it supports the adrenal gland in managing hot flashes, insomnia, depression, and unnecessary sweating. Shatavari’s steroidal saponins improve progesterone emission and mimic hormonal properties.

In healthy women, Ashwagandha accompanies Shatavari (SHT-ARE) with its adaptogenic and stress-modulating properties by acting on different physiological pathways. Shatavari balances estrogen and progesterone levels, while Ashwagandha enhances stress resilience and supports adrenal function.

A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, three-armed study was conducted over 8 weeks with 135 women participants.

After 8 weeks, the SHT-ARE group demonstrated improvements arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and total sexual wellness compared to the placebo group. The SHT alone group showed improvements in only total wellness. SHT-ARE also showed reductions in tension, anger, depression, atigue, esteem-related affect, and confusion,.
