Shatavari, ashwagandha and magnesium glycinate. These three are asked for together more often than any other combination we sell, so we have put them in one kit at one price. The routine splits neatly: shatavari in the morning, the other two in the evening.

How to take it, day to day
Morning
- Shatavari — 1 capsule with breakfast.
Evening
- Organic Ashwagandha — 1 tablet after your evening meal.
- Magnesium Glycinate — 1 capsule about an hour before bed.
Timing conventions in Ayurveda are conventions, not rules. The single thing that matters most is taking it at the same time each day, because that is the routine you will actually keep. Always follow the recommended daily portion printed on each individual pack, and never exceed it.
Your 90-day course
We have written this kit as a course rather than a pile of bottles. The point of adding products one at a time is simple: if something does not agree with you, you know exactly which one it was.
- Days 1 to 7 — magnesium only. One capsule in the evening. Glycinate is the gentlest common form, and starting alone tells you how it suits you.
- Days 8 to 21 — add the shatavari. One capsule with breakfast. You now have a morning step and an evening step.
- Days 22 to 90 — add the ashwagandha. One tablet after your evening meal, alongside the magnesium.
- Day 90 — review. If you are keeping all three, the Monthly Plans work out cheaper than reordering the kit, because you can buy two or three months of each at a time.
How long the kit lasts, and when to reorder
All three run about 60 days at one a day. Built up as above, the kit lasts roughly two months.
Every product in this kit is also sold on its own, and most are available as a Monthly Plan — one, two or three months at a time, at a lower price per pack. Once you know what you are keeping, that is usually the cheaper way to continue.
Nutrition information
Contains magnesium. Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function, to normal muscle function, to the maintenance of normal bones, to normal energy-yielding metabolism, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Under UK law we may only state nutrition and health claims that appear on the Great Britain Nutrition and Health Claims Register, and those claims belong to the specific nutrient rather than to the product as a whole. Where a kit contains no nutrient with an authorised claim, we say so rather than implying something we are not permitted to state. Everything else on this page describes what the ingredients are, where they come from and how they are traditionally prepared.
The ingredients, in detail
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus)
Part used: Root. When it is taken: Morning or evening, with food.
A climbing asparagus whose root is the part used. The Sanskrit name is usually translated as she who has a hundred roots. Certified organic. Shatavari is the herb the Ayurvedic tradition places at the centre of women’s practice, and it is currently the Ayurvedic herb attracting the most interest from Western formulators.
Organic Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Part used: Root. When it is taken: Evening, after food.
Certified organic root, pressed into a 670mg tablet. Ashwagandha is one of the most widely cultivated herbs in India and its Sanskrit name translates roughly as the smell of a horse, a reference to the strong scent of the fresh root. In the tradition it is prepared as a powder and stirred into warm milk at the end of the day.
Magnesium Glycinate (Magnesium bisglycinate)
Part used: Mineral, chelated. When it is taken: Evening.
Magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. This chelated form is gentler on the stomach than magnesium oxide or citrate, which is why it is the form most people choose for a dose taken late in the day. Vegetarian capsule.
Questions people ask
What is the difference between this and the Women’s Daily Duo?
The Duo is shatavari and iron, and is the simpler starting point. This kit is shatavari, ashwagandha and magnesium, and is the one to choose if you already know you get on with shatavari.
Can I take the ashwagandha and magnesium at the same time?
Yes. Many people take both after the evening meal rather than splitting them. The hour-before-bed timing for magnesium is a convention, not a rule.
How is buying the kit different from buying the products separately?
You get exactly the same sealed retail packs — nothing is decanted or repackaged — for £9.97 less. You also get the routine and the 90-day plan above, which is the part most people actually want.
What if I miss a day?
Take it as normal the next day. Do not double up to catch up.
Can I take this alongside other supplements?
Usually, but check the labels for overlapping ingredients so you are not taking two of the same thing. If in doubt, speak to a pharmacist.
Can I take this if I am on medication?
Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any food supplement if you take prescribed medication, or if you are under medical supervision. We are not able to advise on interactions.
