Clinically proven Asparagus racemosus , commonly known as Shatavari possesses number of valuable medicinal properties. This under-shrub, with tuberous roots has well-established pharmacological properties, which includes immunostimulation, uterine relaxation, anticancer, antiulcer, and antimicrobial etc.

The effect of Asparagus racemosus , on the functions of macrophages obtained from mice treated with the carcinogen ochratoxin A (OTA) was investigated. The chemotactic activity of murine macrophages was significantly decreased by 17 weeks of treatment with OTA compared with controls. Production of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was also markedly reduced. Treatment with Asparagus racemosus significantly inhibited OTA-induced suppression of chemotactic activity and production of IL-1 and TNF-alpha by macrophages. Moreover, Asparagus racemosus induced excess production of TNF-alpha when compared with controls.
