I decided to try Nettle Root since my doctor changed my bcp. The only thing I could find was Nettle Root-Power. It says it has 300mg of Nettle Root Extract and 150mg of Nettle Root. I'm very confused at the dosage I should take. Isn't extract supposed to be more potent?? Any suggestions? I used to take 450mg of SP 3x a day.

Does it say what strength of extract it is, maybe 4:1 for example? Without that information it's impossible for you to know what potency you're taking. If it's 4:1 for example, then it is equivalent to 1350mg powdered whole root.

Molly it doesn't say. It just says 300mg extract per capsule on the front. The back says 300mg certified potency nettle root extract and 150mg nettle root. It also says it has 5% amino acids. The recommended dose is only 2 caps a day so I just started taking one to see what happens.

As it says to only take 2 a day I would definitely only take one as it sounds to be quite potent.

That sounds like the exact same thing I am taking! And I only take one cap a day. Don't take more than that, you only need the one. More would not be better. Hope that helps!

Thanks everyone, I'll just stick to one and hope it works!!
