Nettle

Nettle (Urtica dioica), or stinging nettle, is a traditional botanical whose leaf and root are supplied by Nustras as a powder and as a standardised extract. The leaf is traditionally used for seasonal and joint comfort and as a nutritive herb, while the root is used in men's prostate-health formulations; both are rich in a range of natural constituents.

Nettle is formulated into seasonal- and joint-comfort supplements, men's prostate-health products (root), nutritive and greens blends, and traditional herbal teas and tinctures, in capsules, tablets, powders and liquids.

The material is supplied from the Urtica dioica leaf or root as a green (leaf) to light-brown (root) powder or extract, standardised to order where required. Identity is confirmed by organoleptic examination and TLC or HPLC, and heavy-metal, pesticide and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies nettle in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags, cartons or fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Nettle is an accepted botanical dietary ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the plant part (leaf or root), standardisation and claim for their product.
