HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nettle Extra by Wonder Laboratories
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Nettle Extra contains 2 active ingredients, both forms of stinging nettle: a leaf extract and another nettle extract. These are the plants themselves in concentrated form.
The capsules also contain vegetable cellulose and vegetable magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients to hold everything together.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Stinging nettle in this product is possibly effective for diabetes based on clinical research showing it may help lower blood sugar in people with diabetes. For other uses—hay fever, anemia, asthma, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), and gingivitis—we don't have enough reliable evidence in our data to rate whether it works or doesn't.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Stinging nettle is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth as directed, though the quality and evidence vary between products. The most common side effects are constipation and diarrhea.
Rare case reports describe liver injury linked to herbal products containing stinging nettle mixed with other ingredients, so watch for abdominal pain or signs of liver trouble and report them to your doctor. The safety data advises against taking this supplement during pregnancy because there isn't enough information and there are traditional concerns about effects on the uterus.
Safety during breastfeeding hasn't been established either, so talk with your doctor before use.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check before taking this product if you use blood thinners like warfarin, diabetes medications, diuretics (water pills), or lithium. All four medication types have Moderate interactions with stinging nettle that could change how your drugs work or how much you need.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Nettle Extra may be worth considering if you have diabetes and want to explore its possible blood sugar–lowering effect, but only after checking it against your current medications with your doctor or pharmacist. It's not for you if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking blood thinners, diabetes drugs, diuretics, or lithium without first discussing it with your healthcare provider.
The interactions here are real and can affect how your medications work.

Nettle Extra by Wonder Laboratories Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Nettle Extra by Wonder Laboratories does interact with several medication types, all through its stinging nettle content.
The most serious concern involves blood thinners like warfarin (anticoagulants): stinging nettle is high in vitamin K, which can weaken warfarin's effectiveness when you take large amounts of the supplement.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Stinging nettle also has Moderate interactions with diabetes medications (drugs that lower blood sugar), diuretics (water pills), and lithium. With diabetes drugs, there's a risk of additive blood sugar–lowering effects.
Diuretics and lithium face similar concerns: stinging nettle itself may have diuretic properties, so combining them could amplify the effect. For lithium specifically, this could raise its blood levels, and your dose might need adjustment.
Both active ingredients in this product are stinging nettle in different forms, so the interactions are the same. Altogether, these interactions span 164 individual medications.
Before starting this supplement, run your exact medications through the tool on this page, and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

Animal research suggests that the above ground parts and roots of stinging nettle may have a diuretic effect.
Lithium
Theoretically, stinging nettle might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
