Stinging Nettle Extract for Hair Loss: Does it Stimulate Hair Growth?
Nettle extract has been shown to reverse prostate enlargement in European studies. In a study on prostate health, Hartmann et al (1996) concluded that nettle extract partially blocks an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone). They also found that nettle inhibits the binding of DHT to attachment sites on the prostate membrane.
Since DHT is known to cause hair loss, Nettle may be a effective natural treatment for hair loss.
