Green Herb

Stinging Nettle Leaf Extract is derived from the dried leaves and roots of Urtica cannabinal, Urtica laetevirens Maxim, and Urtica angustifolia Fisch. Ex Hornem. Rich in flavonoids, lignins, glyphosate, organic acids, proteins, tannins, chlorophylls, alkaloids, and polysaccharides, this extract offers numerous health benefits. It is known for its anti-rheumatic, blood sugar-regulating, and prostate health-boosting properties.

Historically used since ancient Greece and Rome, nettle has been valued across Europe as a medicinal plant for treating various ailments. It is commonly used for its diuretic, anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and lactative properties. Nettle extract is highly regarded for treating conditions such as arthritis, chronic skin diseases, seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, and hair loss prevention.

In Turkey, nettle is known as the "king of Baicao," used to prevent a wide range of diseases. Globally, especially in Germany, urtica preparations are popular for treating rheumatism, and are recognized for their anti-inflammatory effects. Nettle's main component, coffee icolic acid, is widely used in OTC treatments for rheumatism and is considered one of the five most commonly used drugs in Germany.

Recent studies also highlight its anti-tumor potential, with methanol extracts showing activity against prostate cancer cells.

In China, nettle is used traditionally to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, and indigestion. It is known for its ability to relieve pain and inflammation, making it a valuable herb in both modern and traditional medicine.

Function

  1. Anti-Arthritis Effect
    High, medium, and low concentrations of Urtica extracts have been shown to reduce swelling in rats, with high-concentration extracts being most effective in suppressing rheumatoid arthritis. This effect is even stronger than that of conventional drugs like Ray Gong Teng.

  2. Blood Sugar Regulation
    Stinging nettle leaf extract has demonstrated a blood sugar-lowering effect in diabetic rats. When treated with a 100mg/kg dose, the rats showed a trend of reduced weight and tissue pathological improvement, suggesting a potential role in managing diabetes.

  3. Cardiovascular Health
    Nettle root extracts have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, particularly in relaxing blood vessels. The decoction of nettle has been shown to extend coagulation and bleeding time in mice, offering significant anticoagulant effects, which suggests that nettle can support healthy circulation and act as an anti-thrombosis agent.

  4. Prostate Health (BPH)
    Studies reveal that nettle extract plays a significant role in inhibiting prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Used widely overseas to treat prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, and even prostate cancer, nettle extract has shown promise in clinical experiments for treating prostate-related issues.

  5. Additional Health Benefits
    In Europe, Urtica is renowned for its wide range of uses, including as a diuretic, astringent, and immune booster. It also possesses antioxidant, anti-aging, antimicrobial, and anti-ulcer properties, making it a great option for beauty and skincare routines.
