Description

Urtica Extract

Vitaminity Urtica Extract is a food supplement based on a dry extract of nettle root titrated to 0.8% in beta-sitosterol – that is, the maximum concentration available in the market.

Nettle (Urtica dioica L.) is a herbaceous plant from the Urticaceae family, which is native of Western Asia, and is now widespread in all temperate regions, including Italy.

The root and rhizomes of this plant have beneficial properties for the health of the scalp and hair and as well as for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) due to its high content of phytosterols, scopoletin, lignans, flavonoids and trace elements (silicon, iron, potassium, calcium, manganese etc.).

Based on its antiandrogenic action, it inhibits 5-alpha-reductase through a noncompetitive mechanism. Such enzyme is involved in the transformation of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and thus the hair follicle miniaturization process, which results in a shorter growth phase (anagen) and hair depigmentation as typical of androgenic alopecia.

Furthermore, it has anti-seborrheic, anti-dandruff, anti-inflammatory and remineralizing properties.

Active Ingredients

Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica L.) root, dry extract titrated to 0.8% in beta-sitosterol

Stinging nettle has long been widely used in herbal medicine as well, for its diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties; in addition, it is considered useful against benign prostatic hypertrophy.
Its diuretic and anti-inflammatory actions are mainly attributed to stinging nettle leaves, and especially to the caffeic acid derivatives that are contained in stinging nettle. Several clinical trials confirmed these properties of the plant. In particular, such studies showed that stinging nettle extracts exert their anti-inflammatory action through different mechanisms, such as inhibition of leukotriene synthesis by the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase and inhibition of inflammatory prostaglandin production through cyclooxygenase.

Stinging nettle is known to be useful against benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), although the exact mechanism of action is not clear yet.

In vitro studies showed that the stinging nettle root extract has a high affinity for SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) and can bind it to its receptors in prostatic tissue.
Stinging nettle has also been shown to inhibit aromatase (an enzyme responsible for converting androgens to estrogens) in the prostate.
