Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus): A Promising Ally for Fertility.
Purpose of review: The review intends to systematically evaluate the effects of Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) on reproductive health, focusing on identifying active constituents, assessing therapeutic effects on hormones and reproductive organs, and exploring its impact on both female and male fertility.
Recent findings: Recent investigations suggest that Shatavari has the potential to enhance fertility rates and improve breast milk quality and quantity, making it important for postpartum care. Preliminary findings also indicate positive outcomes for male fertility, but more clinical trials are needed. Shatavari shows promise for fertility enhancement due to its active compounds like saponins and flavonoids. However, further comprehensive clinical studies are necessary to confirm its effects, establish safety profiles, especially for male fertility, and guide its effective integration into modern fertility treatments. It is also crucial for pregnant and breastfeeding women to consult healthcare professionals before using Shatavari due to potential interactions and contraindications.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
