About

Stinging nettle root (Urtica dioica) has been studied primarily for benign prostatic hyperplasia, where it demonstrates 5-alpha-reductase and aromatase inhibition. These anti-androgenic properties have led to interest in its potential role in supporting hair health for androgenetic alopecia, though direct clinical hair loss trials are scarce.

How It Works

Lignans and polyphenols inhibit 5-alpha-reductase and aromatase; binds sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), potentially reducing free DHT at the follicular level.

Evidence For Conditions

Side Effects

  • Mild gastrointestinal upset
  • Allergic reactions (rare — related to leaf, not root)
  • May cause fluid retention

Drug & Supplement Interactions

  • Anticoagulants (nettle leaf contains vitamin K; root extract has less concern)
  • Antihypertensives (may have additive blood pressure lowering effects)
  • Diabetes medications (may affect blood glucose levels)
  • Lithium (nettle may reduce lithium excretion)
