Nettle Root Powder

Nettle root has showed a great deal of promise in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, a condition affecting a large proportion of men over the age of 40 that is often a precursor to prostate cancer. The current research shows that constituents of nettle root work by inhibiting the growth of abnormal cells, a property that suggests it may have some use in preventing cancer. Interestingly, the same chemicals may have an effect on hair loss, and at least one company has filed a patent for a formula containing nettle root to treat male pattern baldness.
