Hii
I have some doubts regarding this particular herb. I read some posts here claiming that (Asparagus Racemosus) Shatavar is a 5ar inducer and contains protodioscin. However while researching, at someplace I also read it may increase estrogen and prolactin and is a very good suppliment for women. But I also read that it increases sperm count and Testosterone and general wellbeing in men. Will anybody give me some correct information about this herb if they have come across it?
Can someone clear my doubt?
An ingredient of tribulus, which has caused a permanent worsening for at least one patient here. Asparagus consumed for a period of time has also reportedly caused a severe worsening in the symptoms of another patient from the now defunct solvepfs forum.
If you search “protodioscin” on this forum there’s been a fair bit written about it over the years. My advice would be to stay away, particularly from any herb or extract form. Extracts are often highly concentrated.
