Hi i'm considering takin stinging nettle instead of saw palmetto and the only one i've seen is stinging nettle leaf from Holland and Barrett. Is this ok or does it have to be the root? Any feedback greatly appreciated!!!

I am under the impression that it needs to be the root to do the same thing as SP. I don't know where you live, but in the US you can get it on line at the Vitamin Shoppe. That's where I found mine!

If you live in UK, u can get nettle root capsule from this website:

http://www.amphora-retail.com/nettle-root-400mg-powdered-root-capsules-p-1161.html

If you tend to buy over 50 pounds from that website, u may purchase through their wholesale page, b/c it is much cheaper but they only ship when you purchase over 50, the wholesale website is:

http://www.amphora-wholesale.com/nettle-root-400mg-powdered-root-caps-p-1161.html

BTW, what's nettle leaves for? Since I drink a large amount of nettle leaves tea every day, I thought nettle leash would be helpful.

I did the necessary arithmetic and even if you spend £50 on that site to get the better price it's still not as good a price as the Vortex Health.

the leafs that are in the tea cleanses the blood and it helps with acne and it is good against allergies. it is very good if you have low iron level.

tms81, thank u for your respones.

So, does it mean nettle leaves have nothing to do with NBE? Anyway, I'm continue drinking it, since I also got acne problems.

Vortex Health are going to discontinue the nettle root next year. Sorry for the bad news, but get it whilst you can.

The leaf has different properties to the root and they are used for different benefits and to treat different conditions.
