stinging neetle & testosterone

Post a new topicby Guest on Mon Jun 10, 2002 12:51 pm


I understand that the extract of the nettle root (Urtica Dioica)has a high affinity to SHBG. Given this, has anyone documented/ tested whether or not taking nettle as a supplement will increase free (bioavailable) testosterone levels, and if so, could they provide the authors of such a study and where it was published?
(I lost a testicle due to surgery gone wrong last year, and have been feeling symptoms of Andropause since then. I am leery of taking exogenous hormones and was looking for a way to boost natural production.)
