Stinging Nettle Extract (Urtica dioica) (Root)

500 mg

†

The product is found useful for the following medical conditions

We explored the impact of freeze-dried Urtica dioica, commonly known as stinging nettles, on allergic rhinitis through a double-blind randomized study with ninety-eight participants.

While Urtica dioica was rated higher than a placebo in overall global assessments, the differences in daily symptoms recorded in diaries were only slight.

This suggests that while stinging nettles may hold some potential for allergy relief, the benefits appear minimal.

First of all, I purchased it to combat my allergies. I began taking it at the peak of my symptoms when pharmacy treatments ceased to work, and on the fourth day, my allergies disappeared. I feel like a normal person again. I bought two jars, which should last the season.

Chronic Cough details

I am ordering for my husband, who has chronic prostatitis. It does well in relieving inflammation and supporting prostate health! We noticed an improvement immediately after completing the course. The quality is good, and the ingredients are natural. We would be happy to reorder repeatedly.

Ear Infection details

4 people found this helpful

This herb appears to aid my Eustachian tube dysfunction, which severely affects my hearing. It feels like my ears are blocked, causing muffled sound. After some time, I began to notice little "pops," as if the tube was clearing. Ultimately, this led to a noticeable reduction (though not complete) in the stuffiness and a significant (not total) recovery of my hearing. One of this herb's traditional applications is as a decongestant, and it seems to have effectively decongested my ear.

High Cholesterol details

7 people found this helpful

Surprisingly, nettle root offers a different effect compared to its stem and leaves. After a week of taking it, my hormonal balance improved significantly—cholesterol decreased, testosterone levels rose, and my hair's thickness improved. Although it can elevate testosterone and cortisol, which may raise blood pressure, I've seen great results and suggest breaks from usage.

Most Useful Review

I take supercardia as directed, and the small capsules have a neutral taste. The stinging nettle root extract is valued for its effectiveness. It's great for those concerned about their urinary system and offers support for detoxification. For individuals who sit or stand for long periods, it alleviates heaviness in the legs, especially during menstruation. Nettle is also known for reducing inflammation in the body. I find this supplement convenient since preparing nettle roots can be quite challenging.

Osteoporosis details

Most Useful Review

Great for bone health! I was searching for natural ways to reverse Osteoporosis and discovered that stinging nettle root extract is beneficial. The NOW extract provided the right dosage, and I've been monitoring my bone mass with a scale. I'm thrilled to see my numbers rising after being at a low for many years. Witnessing such improvement in a short time is fantastic, and it's so easy to incorporate into my daily routine.

Sleep Apnea details

Most Useful Review

Works for my frequent urination issue. Now I can sleep through the night without waking up for toilet visits.

Abscess details

Nettle works! I have heard about the powerful anti-inflammatory properties of nettle root before, and it truly does work for me. After a procedure for a cyst in my sinus, I was diagnosed with a chronic condition, which was understandably concerning. For the past five years, I have tried various natural remedies to prevent a recurrence of this condition. Inflammation can lead to more serious diseases, so I am diligent about managing it. Thankfully, after using nettle root, I just had an examination and my doctors confirmed that all my results are good. Wishing everyone good health!

Adenoma details

I purchased the nettle root extract for my father, who has prostatitis. After taking two capsules daily, he found he woke less frequently at night for toilet trips, and the extract assisted in normalising genitourinary function, preventing the onset of prostatitis and adenoma. Outstanding results for hair growth were also surprising!

For my pollinosis allergy, which includes a sore throat, sneezing, and lacrimation, taking two capsules at night proved helpful. Rather than using antihistamines from pharmacies, I will choose nettle as my remedy.

Gout details

Nettle for gout treatment assessed

Qasmi M, Fareed MM, Ali H, Khan Z, Shityakov S. Integrative multi-target analysis of for gout arthritis treatment: a network pharmacology and clustering approach. In Silico Pharmacol. 2024;12:88. doi:10.1007/s40203-024-00254-9

We explored how stinging nettle, a plant traditionally used in Chinese medicine, might help manage gout arthritis. The study identified specific active compounds within nettle that could play a role in alleviating this painful condition.

Researchers sifted through several databases to pinpoint genes related to gout and found that these genes are targets for the plant's active components, specifically those with good oral bioavailability. By constructing a network of protein interactions, they highlighted several important targets, including those linked to inflammation and uric acid regulation.

Among the key findings were two bioactive compounds from nettle, apigenin-7-O-glucoside and kaempferol, which showed strong potential in binding to specific proteins associated with gout. This suggests they could help in lowering uric acid levels and reducing inflammation—critical factors in managing gout symptoms.

The study also revealed that nettle may work through multiple biological pathways, combining both anti-inflammatory and urate-lowering effects. Overall, these insights underscore nettle's potential as a holistic approach to treating gout, bridging traditional herbal medicine and modern pharmacological research.

My husband used this nettle root for prostatitis and found it effective. After trying several brands, this one offered the best price and dosage along with significant results.

Effective for prostatitis

Most Useful Review

5 people found this helpful

My husband used this nettle root in a prostatitis treatment programme. We tried four brands; this one was the best for price and dosage, and worked excellently. When my husband took the dietary supplements without this nettle root, the results were less noticeable. It's unfortunate that nettle root is rarely available and often out of stock. The nettle leaf cannot substitute the root, as they have quite distinct effects. For male health issues, one must take the nettle root.

Urtica dioica induces apoptosis in cancer

Mohammadi A, Mansoori B, Aghapour M, Baradaran B. Urtica dioica dichloromethane extract induce apoptosis from intrinsic pathway on human prostate cancer cells (PC3). Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2016;62:78.

We evaluated how Urtica dioica, commonly known as nettle, affects prostate cancer cells, specifically the PC3 line. Utilizing various assays, we observed that the dichloromethanolic extract significantly inhibited cell growth and induced cell death, specifically through apoptosis.

Our tests showed increased expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 genes while lowering Bcl-2 levels, indicating a powerful apoptotic response. We also noted that the treatment led to cell cycle arrest at the G2 phase, suggesting Urtica dioica could be a promising candidate for developing new prostate cancer therapies.
