What Is Shatavari?

Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is a climbing plant in the asparagus family, native to India, Sri Lanka, and the Himalayas. It grows in low, rocky, tropical conditions and has been cultivated and used as a botanical for thousands of years across South Asia.

In classical Ayurvedic texts — including the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita — Shatavari is classified as a primary Rasayana herb, meaning a rejuvenating and nourishing botanical used to support vitality and long-term wellbeing. It is associated in Ayurvedic tradition with the Pitta and Vata doshas, and is considered one of the most important tonic roots in the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia.

The root is the part used in traditional Ayurvedic preparations. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and has historically been prepared with warm milk, ghee, or honey in classical formulations.

Why Pullulan Capsules?

Pullulan is derived from tapioca — a naturally fermented, plant-based material. Unlike gelatin capsules (which are animal-derived), pullulan capsules are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and have lower oxygen permeability than most capsule materials, which helps preserve the botanical contents. We use pullulan across our entire capsule line.
