For Ultimate Relief of Environmental Sensitivity
Nettle leaf is included among the approved herbs in the respected German Commission E Monographs. It boasts a great number of nutrients, including significant amounts of chlorophyll, protein, ascorbic acid, calcium, magnesium, Vitamin K1, potassium and zinc. Such nutrients work together to promote the health of skin, bones and joints and encourage a healthy immune and respiratory system. As well, nettle leaf contains flavonoids such as quercitin, kaempferol, and rutin that help to maintain healthy levels of histamine in the body. Histamine release is associated with allergic reactions, where tissues become damaged and inflamed. Nettle leaf helps to maintain your body's defense system and increase histamine efficiency. Further, nettle leaf extract promotes the healthy modulation of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and cytokines - key components associated with normal immune function. The immune system's natural response to environmental stresses is associated with the production of these compounds. These responses are healthy within a normal range. However, these compounds can be found at unhealthy levels and ratios when tissues are damaged and inflamed. Collectively the nutrients and phytochemicals in nettle leaf support the body's normal and healthy response to poor nutrition, indoor and outdoor air pollution, allergens and other toxins in the environment.*
