NETTLE EXTRACT 600 mg VEGAN PRODUCT 90 CAPSULES

Nettle extract 600 mg - vegan, 90 capsules

Nettle is one of those herbs that is most often consumed as an infusion - and that is why the capsule makes sense here. There is no need to brew, measure, or wait for the infusion, and the serving is always exactly the same, regardless of how strong the infusion would turn out.

The manufacturer provides one number and backs it up clearly: the daily serving is one capsule and contains 600 mg of extract from the leaves of common nettle, or Urtica dioica. The manufacturer also states the extraction ratio of 20:1, noted directly in the composition table next to the Latin name of the raw material. This information gives the mass of the extract a scale: without it, 600 mg is a number that cannot be related to the raw material or to another nettle extract.

The ingredient list ends with the extract and the plant coating, and the entire formula is vegan and free from the most common food allergens.

Ingredients

Content in the daily serving, which is one capsule:

• Extract from the leaves of common nettle (Urtica dioica) 20:1 - 600 mg
• Coating: plant capsule Vcaps (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose)
• Free from starch, salt, sugar - manufacturer’s declaration
• Does not contain gluten, eggs, soy, milk protein, or lactose

This 20:1 notation indicates the ratio of raw material to finished extract, meaning how much plant material has been concentrated - and this is real information, because without it, the mass of the extract is a number without scale. However, it speaks of concentration, not of the content of a specific compound: standardization is a separate type of declaration, and these two notations should not be confused when comparing extracts.

The manufacturer clearly states the raw material: leaves of common nettle, in Latin Urtica dioica. This distinction is important because the leaf and root of nettle are two different raw materials with different uses in herbal tradition. The country of origin of the finished product is stated as Poland, and the composition is limited to two items: extract and plant coating Vcaps. The manufacturer declares the absence of gluten, eggs, soy, milk protein, and lactose.

If you avoid an allergen not on this list, check the packaging you have in hand.

Specification

How to use

The manufacturer provides one scheme, the same every day, and adds two warnings from the label:

• One capsule once a day
• Do not exceed the recommended daily serving
• Do not use if the internal packaging seal is damaged
• Swallow the capsule whole and drink with water

Herbs can interact with medications - if you are taking any medications regularly, discuss the use of the product with your doctor or pharmacist.

For whom

This is a choice for someone who enjoys traditional Polish herbalism but does not want to brew an infusion every day or carry dried herbs with them. One capsule a day is a form that is exceptionally easy to incorporate into a daily routine, and the packaging containing 90 capsules allows for sticking to this scheme for a longer time.

The formula is vegan and free from the most common food allergens, making it suitable for a plant-based diet, gluten-free diet, or lactose-free menu. The simplicity of the composition is an additional advantage: two items in the table, one raw material, and a plant coating. If you are arranging supplementation with several separate preparations, such a single-ingredient extract is easy to fit in, as it is clear what you are adding.

And if you are selecting an extract for a specific parameter, check the composition table above before purchasing - the manufacturer describes this preparation with the mass of the extract and the extraction ratio, and these are values on which it is worth basing the comparison, rather than just the name of the plant.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 20:1 notation mean for the extract?

This is the extraction ratio, meaning information about how much plant raw material was used to obtain one part of the finished extract.
