Organic Nettle Powder is made of organic stinging nettle leaves, dried at low temperature to preserve their nutrients, then ground. It provides minerals, trace elements and plant protein that complement the diet.
People who want to enrich their diet with a natural plant. Suitable for a vegetarian or vegan diet. For anyone who likes nettle but has no time to pick and cook it: 2 capsules a day with a glass of water, easy to fit into breakfast.
The Latin name of the nettle, Urtica, comes from the verb urere, “to burn”. Everyone has felt its sting at one time or another. The mechanism is astonishingly precise: its leaves and stems are covered with tiny hairs, hardened with silica like little glass needles. At the slightest touch, their tips break off and inject a small irritating cocktail under the skin.
Once the plant has been dried, these hairs lose their power: that is why nettle soup does not sting, and nor does the powder in our capsules.
In The Wild Swans, published in 1838, Hans Christian Andersen tells the story of Elisa, whose eleven brothers have been turned into swans by a jealous queen. To break the spell, she must pick nettles with her bare hands, tread them with her bare feet, spin them and then knit eleven shirts, without uttering a single word until her task is done.
The tale invents nothing: the nettle stem contains a long, strong fibre that has been spun and woven since the Bronze Age. During the First World War, short of cotton, Germany even had nettles harvested on a large scale to make uniforms.
The nettle likes nitrogen-rich soils: it is almost always found near houses, farms and gardens, as if it had chosen to live alongside us. For gardeners, it is also a basic ingredient: the base of the well-known nettle feed.
Above all, it is indispensable to several of our most beautiful butterflies. The caterpillars of the peacock, the small tortoiseshell and the red admiral feed almost exclusively on it. A patch of nettles left at the bottom of the garden is a nursery for the following summer.
Our organically grown nettle leaves are dried and then finely ground. No extraction, no solvent: the powder contains the whole leaf, just as it was picked. Each capsule contains 300 mg, i.e. 600 mg per daily dose.
Organic Nettle Powder is intended for adults who wish to include nettle leaf in their daily routine without having to pick or cook it, in an organic form and without extraction.
