Stress can affect fertility seriously causing delayed ovulation or no ovulation at all, or may result in inflammation to the tissues of reproductive system that can cause further complications. Shatavari improves the production of white blood cells in this particular area which helps combat inflammation and restore uterine health while bringing down the damage caused by stress.
