You may take the capsule two capsules twice daily with a full glass of water at mealtimes. To ensure the correct dose for liquid forms, measure it with a dropper or a dose-measuring spoon or cup.
Tea: You can make tea with fresh stinging nettle leaves, dried leaves or dried root. Pour 2/3 cup of boiling water over 3 - 4 tsp of dried leaves or dried root and steep for 3 - 5 minutes. You may drink three to four cups of nettle tea per day. Always drink additional water along with the tea.
The dosage for nettle root extract of 1:1 strength is 1.5 mL, three to four times daily.
Tincture forms (1:5) 1-4 ml three to four times daily.
Take nettle by mouth as directed. Check directions and warnings on the product package. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are uncertain about any of the information on the label.
Do not use different forms of nettle at the same time, unless specifically directed by your doctor. Taking different formulations together increases the risk of an overdose.
