Benefits of Nettle Extracts
Nettle Root and Free Testosterone
Nettle extracts are able to boost free testosterone levels. Free testosterone, as opposed to bound testosterone, is active, useable testosterone. This is what provides the benefits typically associated with elevated testosterone levels such as increasing strength and muscle mass. When testosterone binds to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), it changes from free to bound, and becomes useless. Nettle extracts elevate free testosterone levels by binding to sex hormone-binding globulin in place of testosterone, so that a higher percentage of the bodies testosterone is free.
Nettle extracts can also prevent prostate enlargement, as well as help you keep your hair! Prostate growth and balding are both stimulated by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a natural metabolite of testosterone. Nettle extracts prevent prostate enlargement and hair loss by inhibiting DHT from binding to the prostate membrane, and also by inhibiting certain Enzymes which cause testosterone to convert to DHT.
Nettle Root and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Currently, nettle root is more commonly used medicinally than the above-ground portion of the herb. In Europe, nettle root is widely used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) , or prostate enlargement. Like saw palmetto, pygeum, and beta-sitosterol, nettle appears to reduce obstruction to urinary flow and decrease the need for nighttime urination. However, the evidence is not as strong for nettle as it is for these other treatments.
Recent studies have confirmed that nettle root is effective in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Studies in people suggest that stinging nettle, in combination with other herbs (especially saw palmetto), may be effective at relieving BPH symptoms such as reduced urinary flow, incomplete emptying of the bladder, post urination dripping, and the constant urge to urinate.
BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland which constricts the urethra, the tube which carries urine from the bladder to the penis. This causes frequent urination or difficulty in urinating.
Nettle root contains a number of useful phytochemicals which happen to affect the function of the prostate, slow the growth of prostate cells, fight prostate cancer and reduce inflammation. Stinging nettle contains ingredients that might decrease inflammation and increase urine output. Whatever the mechanism, it has been confirmed that extracts from nettle root is successful in treating problems with BPH, but only when the prostate is slightly to moderately enlarged.
Laboratory studies have shown stinging nettle to be comparable to finasteride (a medication commonly prescribed for BPH) in slowing the growth of certain prostate cells. However, unlike finasteride, the herb does not decrease prostate size.
