What are they and where do they come from?
Stinging nettles (Urtica dioica or urens) have long been renowned
for their tonifying properties and more recently have become noted
for providing seasonal sinus support. Biovea\'s nettles have been
freeze-dried to preserve the potency of the active constituents in
the plants stinging hairs and leaves. This process ensures that our
freeze-dried nettles will deliver all the benefits inherent in the
nettle plant.
The stinging nettle is a weed native to Europe, Asia, as well as
North America. The shoots grow from two to three feet, to as high
as *0\', and flourish in soils that are high in nitrogen. All
nettles sting, but their stinging properties disappear once
they\'ve been dried or cooked. As they are used throughout Europe,
nettles make a valuable tonic after the long winter months because
they provide a potent natural source of a number of vitamins and
minerals.
Nettles are high in vitamins A and C, and rich in nutrients,
including calcium, choline, magnesium, boron, iron, iodine, silica,
sulfur, potassium, chlorophyll, histamine, serotonin,
glucoquinones, bioflavonoids, tannins and amino acids. They\'re
unusually high in protein (*0%) for a plant. And because they\'re
so nutrient-dense, they make a good overall tonic for strengthening
the body. Useful in treating anemia, their high vitamin C content
helps ensure that the iron is properly absorbed by the
body.
