What is Nettle Leaf Extract?
Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) has a long history of traditional use in European herbal medicine, most often associated with men's health, joint comfort, and general vitality.
How does it work?
Much of the testosterone in the body is bound to SHBG, a protein that keeps it inactive. Nettle root compounds are traditionally understood to interfere with this binding process, potentially increasing the amount of "free" testosterone available for the body to use.
What does the research say?
Preliminary laboratory research has examined Nettle's interaction with SHBG, though human clinical trials specifically on free testosterone levels remain limited. General background is available via the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
