What is known about side effects?

The menopause trial found no adverse liver or kidney laboratory effects over eight weeks. The PCOS trial reported mild to moderate events in both groups, without serious events. Neither establishes long-term safety. 1 2

Does product quality matter?

German consumer guidance reports excessive heavy metals in some Ayurvedic supplements and has recorded excessive lead in ground asparagus roots. This is a product-quality concern, not evidence that every shatavari product is contaminated. 3
