Brief Summary
|
Menopause is one of the most significant events in a woman’s life and brings in a number of physiological changes that affect the life of a woman permanently. There have been a lot of speculations about the symptoms that appear before, during and after the onset of menopause.Menopausal transition, or ‘perimenopause’, is a defined period of time beginning with the onset of irregular menstrual cycles until the last menstrual period, and is marked by fluctuations in reproductive hormones [6]. This period is characterized by menstrual irregularities; prolonged and heavy menstruation intermixed with episodes of amenorrhea, decreased fertility, vasomotor symptoms; and insomnia. Some of these symptoms may emerge 4 years before menses cease [7]. During the menopausal transition, estrogen levels decline and levels of FSH and LH increase. The menopausal transition is characterized by variable cycle lengths and missed menses, whereas the postmenopausal period is marked by amenorrhea. The menopausal transition begins with variability in menstrual cycle length accompanied by rising FSH levels and ends with the final menstrual period.
Shatavari is rich in a diverse spectrum of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, phenolic substances, tannins, alkaloids, terpenes, steroids, and notably, saponins. A range of unique phytochemicals—such as racemoside A, B, and C, immunoside, filiasparoside C, asparinins, asparosides, curillins, and curillosides—have been identified in its extracts. Among these, the Shatavarins, a group of steroidal saponins unique to Shatavari, stand out due to their significant therapeutic potential. These compounds have been shown to exhibit a variety of beneficial effects, including immune modulation, support for female reproductive health, anti-stress and anxiolytic activity, lactogenic effects, and even anti-cancer properties |
