FAQs
What is Stinging Nettle Root used for?
Nettle root is primarily studied for men's health — particularly for supporting prostate health and healthy urinary flow. It is widely used in European phytomedicine and has been included in clinical studies, often in combination with saw palmetto. It is distinct from nettle leaf, which is more commonly used for allergy and anti-inflammatory support.
Is this nettle root or nettle leaf?
This is a root extract specifically — Urtica dioica root. The root has different active compounds and applications to the leaf. For prostate and urinary health support, root extract is the form used in clinical research.
Is this product vegan and gluten-free?
Yes — certified vegan/vegetarian, kosher, and free from gluten, soy, dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, and tree nuts.
How is this produced to "European standards"?
In Europe, nettle root is classified as a licensed herbal medicine for lower urinary tract symptoms. European manufacturers follow strict pharmacopoeial standards for extraction and standardisation. NOW Foods produces this nettle root extract to meet these rigorous European quality benchmarks.
Can women take Stinging Nettle Root?
While most research focuses on men's prostate health, nettle root also has anti-inflammatory properties and may be used by women for joint and urinary health support. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before use.
