Barlowe also bottles his products in glass as he believes chemical vapors can vent from plastic containers and contaminate the contents and that glass is better for the environment. Logically, one way of increasing libido in older men would be to block the testosterone-binding effects of SHBG. This would leave more testosterone in its free, sexually activating form. A highly concentrated extract from the Nettle root provides a unique mechanism for increasing levels of free testosterone. Recent European research has identified constituents of Nettle root that bind to SHBG in place of testosterone, thus reducing SHBG's binding of free testosterone. However, if you are primarily only interested in taking nettle to slow binding of free testosterone, Barlowe's High Potency Nettle is the better choice as it has much more of the substance which binds to SHBG. Additionally, Nettle has been used for centuries to treat painful muscles and joints, gout, and anemia. Today, many people use it to treat urinary problems during the early stages of an enlarged prostate (called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), for urinary tract infections, and for hay fever (allergic rhinitis). Stinging nettle root is used widely in Europe to treat BPH and studies suggest that Nettle, in combination with other herbs (especially Saw Palmetto), is effective at relieving symptoms such as reduced urinary flow, incomplete emptying of the bladder, post urination dripping, and the constant urge to urinate. Beta-Sitosterol is a primary ingredient in Nettle responsible for its beneficial effect on the prostate.
