Too much
unbalanced oestrogen has been associated with increased growth of the
prostate. Nettle root has been found in some experiments to block the
formation of new oestrogen molecules in several ways, plus block the
binding of existing oestrogen to the prostate cells. So, Nettle root mechanism
of action is different from saw palmetto and scientists recommend taking
both together to experience the full effects. Some experts recommend
taking it only if you are at risk from prostate disease and not
otherwise.
There are
several preparation using extracts of nettle root, but very few
scientists trials to support its use. In one trial using a six month
combination treatment with saw palmetto and nettle root there was a mild
improvement of prostrate problems as compared to no treatment at all.
The researchers suggest that the combination needs to be taken for at
least one year for the full effects to be seen.
