Dr. Mercola Organic Stinging Nettle

Even though the remarkable health benefits of stinging nettle have been established through numerous studies, they are often overshadowed by the plant’s unwelcome “stinging” properties. Yet, once it’s processed into a supplement, dried, freeze-dried or cooked, this special herb is safe for consumption.

Stinging nettle contains a significant number of bioactive compounds. The leaves alone are rich sources of terpenoids, carotenoids and fatty acids, as well as of various essential amino acids, chlorophyll, vitamins, tannins, carbohydrates, sterols, polysaccharides, isolectins and minerals.
