Summary

This study tests whether a daily capsule of shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) root extract can help women aged 40-45 with perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep trouble. Sixty women will take either the extract or a placebo for 12 weeks. Researchers will track changes in symptom severity and quality of life using standard questionnaires.
