@peaceinstead As I say in the video the root is #1 for hair loss as it has effects on the hormones and the leaf provides extra minerals.

Do you recommend nettle root over the leaf? Do you use the root as a tea? Thanks for your video!

@SecretsOfLongevity Yeah i understand 5-AR, but surely the binding effect nettle lignans have on SHBG would negate the effects of decreased DHT synthesis. SHBG is needed to modulate DHT, aswell as T.
I'm unaware of any research on nettle and a decrease in DHT, if data does exist it is probably upon patients with BHP, in which case my previous point stands and DHT could be reduced by another mechanism. Therefore not applicable to MPB.
I (hopefully) stand to be corrected though!

@marlioso1 As I said in the video nettle root block 5-alpha reductase production. The idea is that those people whose MPB is caused by DHT it helps lower DHT levels, I am not aware of any direct effect in the scalp however.
Hey,
Great video. I was just wondering, does it matter what form I take the nettle root? Like, will it work if I take it in pill form? Or does it have to be the actual root?
Thanks!

@rcstar07 I've just added a link in the video (skip to 1 minute or so in) to another video of mine about herbal decoctions.

Yo, thanks for the video. I really appreciate your help and I will be sure to contribute. Two questions though, as far as the olive oil, what kind should I get? (virgin, extra virgin, light, or does it even matter); secondly, what dosage of nettle root should I be taking daily?

@tonytocanova Extra virgin olive oil will have the greatest concentration of the phenols which are the compounds that benefit your hair when rubbed into the scalp. The dosage of nettle root if you get the whole herb would be about 1-1.5 tbsp a day simmer in 2-3 cups of water for 30 minutes and drank in two portions at either end of the day.
