Buy Nettle – Extracts from Root, Leaf & Seed

The nettle (Urtica dioica) is a native plant from the nettle family. Botanically, its constituents belong to the secondary plant compounds, including flavonoids and lignans. Traditionally, the root, leaf and seed are used. In this category, you'll find nettle products from Scheunengut – as an extract or powder, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

The nettle grows across large parts of Europe. Depending on the preparation, different parts of the plant are processed: the nettle root, the leafy foliage or the seeds. The raw materials are gently dried and ground into powder or further processed into a concentrated extract.

Standardisation & Format

Extracts are often adjusted to a defined content and specified with a ratio such as 4:1 or 10:1. Nettle is available as a capsule, powder or as part of complexes – for example combined with pumpkin seed and saw palmetto, or with horse chestnut. Look out for the declared amount per daily portion.

What to Look for When Buying

  • Transparently declared content and extract ratio
  • Plant part used: root, leaf or seed
  • Vegan and without unnecessary additives

Häufige Fragen zu Nettle

What is nettle traditionally valued for?

Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a native plant whose root, leaf and seeds have been used for centuries. People value it for its characteristic plant compounds such as flavonoids and lignans. Depending on the plant part, it is used in different ways, and it is one of the best-known native plants in folk tradition.

What's the difference between the root, leaf and seed?

Nettle provides three distinct raw materials: the root, the leafy herb and the seeds. Different preparations use different plant parts, as their compound profiles vary. When buying, check which plant part has been used so you can choose the right product for you.

What does a 4:1 or 10:1 extract ratio mean?

The extract ratio shows how concentrated the extract is: with a 10:1 ratio, around ten parts of plant material go into one part of extract. Higher ratios therefore mean more concentrated plant compounds. Extracts are often standardised to a defined content, which ensures consistent quality.

What forms are nettle products available in?

Nettle is available as capsules, powder or a concentrated extract. Capsules are convenient and tasteless, powder can be used flexibly, and extracts deliver the plant compounds in concentrated form. Our nettle products are vegan and lab-tested, made from tested raw material.
