I have heard that Nettle root is very good for mens health overall. One thing that I was interested in the suppliment was that I had heard that it could assist in muscle growth. I have learned that nettle root was a additive in many pro-hormones. If anyone has any insite about the suppliment let me know?

nettle root is commonly used medicinally for hair loss and prostate
cancer prevention, but it does have a couple of interesting side
effects.

it blocks aromatase, an enzyme in the body
that produces estrogen, and it also prevents testosterone from binding
to a sex hormone called globulin, meaning that more of it is
bioavailable in your system to do manly things.

while
both of these effects do increase testosterone levels indirectly, i
wouldn’t exactly rely on this supplement to put you over the top or help you make significant gains like creatine or BCAAs
