Stinging Nettle Root

[Smokescreen]

It lowers SHBG. But also lowers DHT. Wouldn't that make this herb a NO NO?

I think I've seen Urtica dioica (stinging nettle/ nettle root) in many PCT products, so there must be a reason for it. Maybe someone else can chime in on this?

Well...saw palmetto does the same thing as well. It lowers DHT. And many claim its "good" for us dudes. Why?????? IT LOWERS DHT. How can that be good?

Stinging Nettle only lowers DHT is high dosages. It still has the SHBG lowering effect at lower dosages, and curiously, doesn't seem to lower MORE SHBG in higher dosages. When it comes to lowering SHBG, avenacosides A&B rule supreme. It's the most effective natural substance to raise free testosterone bar none.

Never been a fan of saw palmetto.

Are we talking about these herbals in the context of a PCT regimen, or just in general on or off cycle?

Lower DHT too much and we start to get gyno, water retention, erection problems etc etc.
