HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nettle 900 mg by Solaray

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Nettle 900 mg is a single-ingredient supplement with 900 mg of stinging nettle per capsule. The only inactive ingredient listed is cellulose, a plant-based capsule material.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Stinging Nettle's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: herbal support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever), Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Osteoarthritis, Urinary tract infections (UTIs), joint mobility, urinary health.
  • The closest evidence on file: Stinging Nettle is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Stinging Nettle is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Osteoarthritis, Urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Stinging nettle is possibly effective for diabetes, based on research showing it may help lower blood sugar. For other uses—hay fever, anemia, asthma, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and gingivitis—the evidence isn't solid enough yet for us to rate how well it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Stinging Nettle

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Stinging nettle is generally well tolerated by most adults when used as directed, though quality varies between products. The most common side effects when taken by mouth are constipation or diarrhea.

Rare case reports describe liver injury, though those involved herbal blends with multiple ingredients, not nettle alone. Stinging nettle should be avoided during pregnancy due to traditional concerns about effects on the uterus and lack of safety data.

Safety during breastfeeding hasn't been established either, so talk with your doctor before using it if you're nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Stinging Nettle

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Stinging Nettle.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 164 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start this product, double-check if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin, diabetes medications, diuretics (water pills), or lithium. All of these have moderate-severity interactions with stinging nettle that could change how your drugs work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you have diabetes or are interested in stinging nettle for blood sugar support, this product may be worth considering—but check with your pharmacist first, especially if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, water pills, or lithium. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid it.

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stinging nettle might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that stinging nettle might decrease blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, combining stinging nettle with diuretic drugs may have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that the above ground parts and roots of stinging nettle may have a diuretic effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, stinging nettle might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stinging nettle has diuretic and natriuretic properties, which could alter the excretion of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

There is some concern that stinging nettle might decrease the effects of anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin.
Stinging nettle contains a significant amount of vitamin K. When taken in large quantities, this might interfere with the activity of warfarin.

Nettle 900 mg by Solaray: Common Questions

Does Nettle 900 mg by Solaray interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nettle 900 mg has a known interaction with 164 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Nettle 900 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Stinging nettle should be avoided during pregnancy because of traditional concerns about effects on the uterus and lack of safety data. Safety during breastfeeding hasn't been established either, so talk with your doctor before using it if you're nursing.
What are the side effects?
Most common are constipation or diarrhea when taken by mouth. If you handle the fresh plant directly, you may get itching, rash, or a stinging sensation on your skin.
Does this really work for diabetes?
Stinging nettle is rated possibly effective for diabetes—research shows it may help lower blood sugar. But it's not a substitute for your medication, and you'll need to work with your doctor to see if it helps your specific situation.
How much nettle is in each capsule?
Each capsule contains 900 mg of stinging nettle.
What's cellulose doing in here?
Cellulose is the capsule material itself—a plant-based binder that holds the nettle powder together. It's not a filler added for bulk; it's what makes the capsule work.
