Swanson Stinging Nettle Root (Urtica Dioica), 500 mg, 100 Caps

Already in the last 8 days since I started taking this product, my night time trips to the bathroom have pretty much disappeared. Those trips went from one every hour to one every 4 hours to zero (depending on how much water I drink before bed time).Plus I stopped taking the other supplements I had been combining to try to control my night time bathroom problem 8 days ago when I started taking this. And so far this product is working great all by it self. (Sure so far it's only been 8 days, but it's consistent.) At over 3 months supply per bottle for $11.00, this should save me a lot of money. (No more need for the other supplements I've been taking.)PS: I had regularly been taking Stinging Nettle with no real help, but apparently it's the Stinging Nettle "ROOT" that does the trick. (...or so I had read.)Bottom line: What a difference!

I've tried Saw Palmetto, Beta-SitoSterol, and prescription drugs. The thing that works best for me is Stinging Nettle Root. I take one capsule in the morning and one at night and I'm good to go. I like the Swanson brand and I used to get a lot of my supplements from Swanson's website but that thing is JUNK compared to Amazon's website. Every month the dang thing would dump my entire shopping cart and I'd have to piece together my order from memory. I complained to their support tech and they advised that I write it down on paper then place my order.I said, "I don't have to do that with Amazon. I buffer up an order for an entire month and then when I get my social Security, I commit."So, I stopped ordering from Swanson. But I can still get their brand supplements on Amazon's website, which is nice.

I think its aided my urinary tract issues a lot. I did have a hickup in that the other day, passed a stone, but after that it's pretty good. It made some good level of change soon after I had started it.

Stinging nettle supplement is one of my favorite supplements. I think the Swanson brand is a good one to use. I been using their brand for over 15yrs now. I do wish that their supplements would have less fillers or no fillers at all.

For years I have been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate. About a year ago the incidence of having to get up in the middle of the night to urinate began to increase from once or twice a night to once almost every 2 hours. My quality of life deteriorated drastically due to not getting a decent night's sleep. I was grumpy and irritable. The last Dr I saw recommended either Flomax or Jalyn. I later read about the side effects (especially of Jalyn) and decided to try supplements instead. I ordered saw palmetto, pygeum, and stinging nettle. I take one each in the a.m., then one each of pygeum & stinging nettle in the afternoon, and then one each of stinging nettle and saw palmetto a few hours before retiring. I have been on this regimen for nearly 3 months now and I am very, very satisfied with the results. Within a few days, my nightly trips to the bathroom were reduced from the previous 3-4 or more, to 1-2; after a few weeks, I now have to get up maybe once (and if I don't drink coffee or lots of other liquids after dinner, I may not have to get up at all!). And when I do urinate, the stream is strong and I seem to empty my bladder more fully and without strain. I have noticed no side effects at all with these supplements. I am uncertain exactly which combination of the three supplements is the most effective. Many think the saw palmetto is the stalwart one, made more effective by either (or both) of the others. The price is so reasonable, however, that I will continue to take all three of them. I strongly recommend you give them a try.

My husband uses this for his prostrate it keeps him from having problems

Havent really noticed much of a difference since I started taking this for my allergies. Maybe a very slightly less stuffy nose? At least I tried it I guess

I got this because it was reccommended for lungs. I have big problems with my lungs and I have never been a smoker. Because of a problem outside of my control, I ended up with a pneumothorax (yes the one they stick the needle into in ER programs) and other problems and had to have surgery. It hurt so much to breathe and even since the surgery several years ago, I have pain when I breathe. I do a whole routine every morning and evening including breathing exercises, meditation, laughter etc. even though it hurts to try and lessen the pain. I keep looking for things that will help with my lungs and I did a lot of reading up on things and found that Stinging Nettle Root (yes the nemisis from my childhood of getting stung at our fort and feeling the revenge of the plant that was painful and not reccommended!) was something that helped with the lungs. I was a little skeptical, but started taking it once a day and am now up to three times per day. It hasn't taken away the pain of breathing, but it has improved my breathing ability which surprised me because I was in the middle of a chest cold and to have it start working then was great as I so often end up in the hospital with pneumonia. As always every human being is different and there are different results for different people. Talk to your Doctor before taking to make sure that there are no medications or conditions that would prohibit you from taking Stinging Nettle Root. I have not had any side effects that were bad from the Stinging Nettle Root and Swanson seems to make a really good product which is something everyone needs to check out before taking any herbs, supplements or vitamins. So yes, it is useful to women as well for other purposes.

very good

As one ages, a male’s trips to the bathroom during the night tend to increase ( a friend of mine up to five times!) with this supplement my visits have reduced to above three to once, occasionally twice. Let’s face it, we all love a good night’s sleep.

I tried Swanson Stinging Nettle for several weeks with moderate expectations. The capsules are easy to swallow, and the product appears to be of good quality from a reputable brand. While I didn't experience any side effects, I also didn't notice any significant improvement in urinary health or overall well-being during the time I used it. It may work better for others, but the results were quite subtle in my case. Considering the price, I expected a more noticeable benefit. Overall, it's an okay herbal supplement, but I don't think it offers outstanding value for money based on my personal experience.

To early to comment on its benefit or otherwise

Has side effects, i got pain near lower abdominal areas and near the testicles, frequent urine sensation
