Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a herbaceous plant that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine systems, including Ayurveda and European herbalism. Its leaves and roots are packed with nutrients and bioactive compounds, but its name comes from the fine hairs on the leaves and stems that can sting when touched fresh. Fortunately, when processed into an extract, the sting is removed leaving behind a powerful plant with impressive therapeutic value.
Stinging Nettle Extract is a concentrated form of the plant's beneficial constituents. It can be derived from the leaves, roots, or both, depending on the intended use. While the leaves are known for their anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties, the root is especially valued for supporting prostate health, hormonal balance, and urinary function.
Nettle extract is rich in:
Due to this wide nutrient profile, nettle extract is gaining traction in supplements that support joint health, hormonal regulation, seasonal allergy relief, skin detoxification, and energy metabolism.
