This compound works effectively to bind SHBG, increasing Free T in your system, which enhances libido, energy levels, and overall vitality.

Too much estrogen can adversely affect a man's sexual performance by binding to testosterone receptors and triggering an overproduction of SHBG. Our High Potency Nettle Extract is formulated to counteract this by binding to SHBG, thereby keeping test free and active. This makes it an excellent companion to other test boosting supplements from Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs range, such as Tongkat Ali, Bulbine Natalensis, or Fenugreek Extracts.

Testimonials:

I thought you might like to know the results of a recent experiment with your high potency Nettle Root Extract. The background is that in recent years my levels of SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) have soared considerably beyond the upper limit of the reference range, while my total and free testosterone have declined. After searching the scientific literature, I came across 3,4-DVTHF (3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran) as an effective means of lowering SHBG. Further research revealed that some suppliers have been selling products labeled as 3,4-DVTHF actually contained very little. I decided to take a chance on your product because you seem to be a reputable company and your label indicates a high content of purified 3,4-DVTHF per capsule.  After an initial purchase, I bought three bottles of Nettle Root Extract and took 3 capsules twice a day for one month before retesting for SHBG and testosterone. The results showed that my SHBG decreased by 16 nmol/L while my free and total testosterone increased by 1.31 and 11 ng/dL, respectively. While still not at the levels they once were, they nevertheless represent a considerable improvement. Congratulations on selling an honest and effective product! I have told several other people about my results and they are ordering as well. W.S., Arlington, MA (11/26/2018)

Medical Uses of Nettle

Nettle's Use for BPH

Interaction of lignans with human sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG).
Schottner M, Gansser D, Spiteller G.
Lehrstuhl Organische Chemie I, Universitat Bayreuth, Germany.

Lignans bind to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). The lignan with the highest binding affinity is (+/ )-3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran. In a double Stobbe condensation--without use of protecting groups--a wide variety of lignans with different substitution pattern in the aromatic and aliphatic part of the molecule was synthesized. These lignans were tested in a SHBG-binding assay which allowed to deduce the following relationship between structure and activity: 1) (+/-)-diastereoisomers are more active than meso compounds 2.) the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy (guajacyl) substitution pattern in the aromatic part is most effective 3.) the activity increases with the decline in polarity of the aliphatic part of the molecule.

Lignans from the roots of Urtica dioica and their metabolites bind to human sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG).
Schottner M, Gansser D, Spiteller G.
Lehrstuhl Organische Chemie I, Universitat Bayreuth, Germany.

Polar extracts of the stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.) roots contain the ligans (+)-neoolivil, (-) secoisolariciresinol, dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol, isolariciresinol, pinoresinol, and 3,4 divanillyltetrahydrofuran. These compounds were either isolated from Urtica roots, or obtained semisynthetically. Their affinity to human sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) was tested in an in vitro assay. In addition, the main intestinal transformation products of plant lignans in humans, enterodiol and enterolactone, together with enterofuran were checked for their activity. All lignans except (-) pinoresinol developed a binding affinity to SHBG in the in vitro assay. The affinity of (-)-3,4 divanillyltetrahydrofuran was outstandingly high. These findings are discussed with respect to potential beneficial effects of plant lignans on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
