Shatavari contains steroidal saponins, which have been proved to regulate oestrogen levels. Correct oestrogen levels in the body result in regular menstrual cycles and ovulation. This in turn increases the chances of fertility.

Stress leads to infertility. Stress can cause late ovulation or no ovulation at all. Stressed out women suffer from uterine fibroids, blocked fallopian tubes, ovarian cysts, endometriosis and hypothyroidism.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a disease that causes hormonal imbalances in women. It also affects ovulation. Shatavari improves follicular maturity, regularizes menstrual cycles, restores hormonal balances and improves the chances of fertility.

Shatavari helps in the secretion of cervical mucus. During ovulation, when the level of oestrogen is at its highest, the cervix secretes a type of mucous known as cervical mucous. This mucous helps the sperm to glide through the female reproductive tract and meet the egg.

Shatavari contains mucilage that serves as a tonic for the mucous membranes. It protects the mucous membranes and helps it to secrete mucous to enable fertilization.
