HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nettle Leaf 900 mg by Herbal Secrets

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 Oct 1, 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.

This product contains one active ingredient: nettle leaf at 900 mg per capsule. The capsules also include gelatin and stearic acid as inactive ingredients to hold and deliver the nettle.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Stinging Nettle's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Stinging Nettle for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Diabetes — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence here is mixed. Nettle is possibly effective for diabetes — clinical research suggests it may help lower blood glucose.

For everything else on file — hay fever, anemia, asthma, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and gingivitis — the evidence is insufficient to say whether it works. You'd be taking it based on traditional use rather than solid trial data for those conditions.

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.

Nettle is generally well tolerated when taken as directed, though some people report constipation or diarrhea. The safety data does advise against nettle during pregnancy due to traditional concerns about effects on the uterus.

For breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, so talk with your doctor before using it. Rare case reports describe liver injury after taking herbal products containing nettle, though these involved multiple ingredients and long-term use — keep that in mind if you have any liver concerns.

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 taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood thinners (especially warfarin), diabetes medications, diuretics (water pills), or lithium. All four drug types have documented moderate interactions with nettle that could require dose changes or monitoring.

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.

If you have diabetes and want to explore nettle, it may be worth a conversation with your doctor — the evidence for blood sugar effects is there. Just be aware it interacts with blood thinners, diabetes drugs, water pills, and lithium, so those are non-starters without medical clearance.

Avoid it if you're pregnant, and check with your doctor before using it while breastfeeding. Run your full medication list by your pharmacist before you start.

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 Leaf 900 mg by Herbal Secrets: Common Questions

Does Nettle Leaf 900 mg by Herbal Secrets interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Nettle Leaf 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 Leaf 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 — the safety data advises against nettle during pregnancy because of traditional concerns about effects on the uterus. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, so talk with your doctor before using it.
What's nettle actually supposed to do?
Research suggests it may help lower blood glucose in people with diabetes, so it's possibly effective for that. For other uses like hay fever, anemia, and asthma, the evidence is insufficient — we don't have solid trial data to say it works for those.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
When taken by mouth, nettle is generally well tolerated. The most common complaints are constipation or diarrhea. Rare case reports describe liver injury, though those involved products with multiple ingredients and long-term use.
Does this product have fillers or other ingredients I should avoid?
Besides the nettle, the capsule itself is made of gelatin and stearic acid — that's it. If you have a gelatin allergy or follow a strict diet, let your pharmacist know.
Why can't I take this with blood thinners?
Nettle is high in vitamin K, which at high doses can reduce the effectiveness of blood thinners like warfarin. That's a serious risk — your blood thinner may not protect you as well as it should.
Can this affect my diabetes or water pill medications?
Yes — nettle itself may lower blood sugar, so combined with diabetes drugs there's a risk your blood sugar drops too low. Same concern with water pills and lithium, where nettle's diuretic effect could add up and require dose adjustments.
