What is Nettle Root Extract

In short, “Nettle Root Extract” is beneficial for men in maintaining their prostate health.

Nettle Root May Help Multiply the Effectiveness of Your Androgens*

If you’re looking to optimize your hormones, it’s not just about increasing androgens. You can have high male hormone levels and NOT see the benefits of it.

That’s why I say that nettle root (Latin name Urtica dioica) can multiply our hormones’ effectiveness. It is not that it makes them stronger.

Instead, it helps stop them from becoming useless, or even worse than that.

How is this?

There are a few things that can occur in the body…

Nettle Root is a Natural Aromatase Inhibitor*

Aromatization is the conversion of male hormones into estrogen. This not only means you won’t get the benefits of the androgens but it can be turned into something that works against you.

While both men and women need estrogen (in different amounts), too much is typically insufficient, contributing to estrogen dominance, especially in the worst kinds of estrogen-like estradiol.

Some of the compounds that may contribute to this aromatase inhibiting effect are: ^[1]

Secoisolariciresinol
Oleanolic acid
Ursolic acid
(9Z,11E)-13-hydroxy-9,11-octadecadienoic acid
(10E, 12Z)-9-hydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid
14-octacosanol

Nettle Root Binds to (SHBG)*

The second problem is that androgens and their metabolite, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), can be bound to substances like SHBG or albumin.

This renders androgens unusable by your body as they are trapped in a non-viable form.

Some of this effect found in nettle root appears to be from the lignans available, including the following five compounds.^[2,3,4]

Neoolivil
Secoisolariciresinol
Dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol
Isolariciresinol
3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran (found to be the most powerful one)

Several studies in both humans and animals have shown these effects.

Limits DHT*

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) has received a bad name for its effects on prostate issues and male pattern baldness. But DHT is an essential hormone for a healthy functioning man, as, with anything, it can become unbalanced.

Nettle root powders are weak 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.^[5]* That’s the enzyme that converts regular male hormones into DHT.

Great for Prostate Health*

More researched than any other effect is what nettle root can do for healthy prostate function. ^{[6,7,8,9,10,11]*}

Beyond the mentioned SHBG and aromatization effects, nettle root likely has several other mechanisms of action that may change how hormones like androgens, DHT, estrogen, and others bind to or affect prostatic cells, leading to:

Healthy Urination*
Healthy Prostate Size*

In short, stinging nettle root extract is beneficial for men in maintaining their prostate health.

Other Benefits of Nettle Root

The stinging nettle root is quite a medicinal plant. All parts of it can be used for different conditions. For the hormonal aspect, the heart is the part you need.

Polysaccharides in nettle root have some anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.^[12]* It has also been shown to have some positive cardiovascular effects.*
