Nettle Frees Testosterone

T NATION | Altered States: Achieving the Dick of Death:

"When too much of your Testosterone is bound up by SHBG, Testosterone isn't free to do its thing.

Luckily, concentrated extracts from the nettle root bind to SHBG instead of Testosterone, thus reducing SHBG's Testosterone-binding capability and increasing the amount of free Testosterone in the blood stream.

Nettle root is also a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, which means that it prevents Testosterone from converting to DHT, the hormone that's known to be implicated in hair loss and prostate enlargement."
