Nettle Extract (Urtica dioica), also known as Stinging Nettle Root Extract, is taken from an herbaceous perennial plant in the Urticaceae family originally native to Europe, temperate Asia, and the western regions of North America. The leaves and stems have hairs that act like needles. Despite this, it has been used for hundreds of years for its purported benefits. Nettle Root Extract is rich in vitamins and minerals and supports the joints, urinary function, and kidneys.* Stinging nettle root extract may also help with digestion.* This extract is the powder form.
