If you decide to take a stinging nettle supplement, it is important to choose a trustworthy manufacturer (since supplements are not regulated as closely as drugs). Your pharmacist is a good source for information about which supplement manufacturers are most reliable. Products that are more expensive are not necessarily of a higher quality.
If you have any chronic health problems or take any prescription medications, it is probably a good idea to check with your healthcare provider before taking stinging nettle.
If you are unsure about anything related to your dosage or stinging nettle dosing in general, please talk with your healthcare provider.
