Nettle (Urtica Dioica) – Leaf, Root, Seed, Extracts, Oils & Powders

Wholesale Nettle in every format your formulation needs — sourced, processed, and shipped to Europe by TheWholesalerCo.

Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica), known across European herbal traditions simply as Nettle or Common Nettle, and in India as Bichu Buti, is one of the most respected wild-harvested medicinal botanicals in the Western herbal tradition — a staple of European folk medicine for over two thousand years and a cornerstone of modern phytotherapy. What makes nettle remarkable is that the same plant delivers three distinct commercial value streams: the leaves are exceptionally rich in chlorophyll, plant iron, calcium, vitamin K, vitamin C, carotenoids, and a characteristic flavonoid-polyphenol profile, making them a workhorse ingredient in iron-deficiency, mineral, joint-comfort, and seasonal-allergy support nutraceuticals; the roots carry a unique sterol and lignan fraction (notably beta-sitosterol and scopoletin) with one of the most robust clinical dossiers in the entire phytomedicine world for prostate and urinary health; and the seeds are an emerging adaptogenic ingredient with growing interest in adrenal and hormonal applications. Whether you're developing an iron-rich superfood blend, a beta-sitosterol-standardized prostate-support capsule, a seasonal allergy support formulation, or a hair-strengthening cosmetic, TheWholesalerCo offers Nettle in every format the modern formulator needs — from whole dried leaf and root to supercritical CO2 extracts.

Shop Nettle by Form

Whole Nettle (Dried Leaf, Root & Seed)

Cleaned, shade-dried Urtica dioica leaves, separately graded roots, and seeds — sourced and processed as separate raw materials, each suited to different applications. Leaves are the workhorse for mineral and seasonal-support nutraceuticals; roots are the clinical hero for prostate and urinary formulations; seeds carry their own emerging adaptogenic value. Ideal for nutraceutical manufacturers, contract extractors, and traditional herbal formulators working directly from authenticated source material.

Nettle Leaf Powder

Finely milled, shade-dried Urtica dioica leaf powder, mesh-graded to your specification. Shade-drying is essential for nettle leaf — it preserves the deep green chlorophyll, vitamin C, vitamin K, and the heat-sensitive flavonoid fraction that defines a high-quality leaf powder. A workhorse ingredient for capsules, tablets, mineral and iron-support blends, green superfood mixes, seasonal allergy nutraceuticals, and traditional European herbal formulations. Shelf-stable, cost-effective, and the simplest way to deliver nettle leaf's full nutritional and phytochemical profile in a single ingredient.

Nettle Root Powder

Finely milled, mesh-graded Urtica dioica root powder — distinct from leaf powder in both phytochemistry and application. Used in classical European herbal blends and as a starting material for prostate and urinary-support extract production. The preferred form for traditional formulators working with the root specifically.

Nettle Seed Powder

Finely milled Urtica dioica seed powder, retaining the seeds' unique adaptogenic profile. Used in specialty nutraceuticals, traditional adrenal-support blends, and emerging hormonal-balance formulations.

Nettle Leaf Extract (Solvent-Based)

Concentrated powdered extract from nettle leaves, available in standardized ratios and, on request, standardized to total polyphenols, total flavonoids, or silica content. The go-to form for mineral-support, seasonal-allergy, and joint-comfort nutraceuticals where label claims, dosage accuracy, and clinical dossier alignment matter.

Nettle Root Extract (Solvent-Based)

Concentrated powdered extract from nettle roots — the clinically benchmarked form for prostate and urinary health applications. Available standardized to beta-sitosterol content (the gold-standard marker for prostate-support nutraceuticals), as well as to total sterols, scopoletin, or specific polysaccharide fractions on request. The industry-standard form for evidence-based men's health supplement brands.

Nettle CO2 Extract

Supercritical CO2 extraction delivers a solvent-free, highly concentrated extract that preserves the full spectrum of heat-sensitive sterols, lignans, polyphenols, and native phytochemistry. Available from leaf or root starting material. The premium choice for clean-label nutraceuticals, high-end cosmetics, and brands marketing "green extraction" on the front of the pack.

Nettle Seed Oil (Cold-Pressed)

Cold-pressed from Urtica dioica seeds, this specialty oil delivers a unique fatty acid profile rich in linoleic acid alongside the seeds' characteristic phytochemistry. A niche but rising ingredient in premium hair-care oils, scalp serums, and specialty cosmetic systems. Available in cosmetic and nutraceutical grades on request.

Nettle Infused Oil

Whole leaf or root slowly infused into a carrier oil (sesame, coconut, jojoba, or custom base on request). A label-friendly option for brands building "infused in" narratives without solvent extraction complexity. Popular in scalp oils, hair-strengthening blends, traditional joint-support oils, and specialty herbal cosmetic formulations.

Nettle Oil-Soluble Extract

A lipophilic extract designed to disperse cleanly into oils, balms, butters, and anhydrous cosmetic systems. If you're formulating a hair-growth serum, a scalp balm, a joint-comfort oil, or an anhydrous system where you want nettle's hero actives in a controlled, ready-to-blend format, this is the form to choose.

Nettle PG Extract (Propylene Glycol)

A liquid extract in a propylene glycol base — pre-solubilized and ready to blend into shampoos, conditioners, scalp tonics, hair serums, and water-based cosmetic systems. Saves formulation time and delivers controlled, uniform active distribution across aqueous and surfactant phases — a category staple in hair-care formulations leveraging nettle's long-standing reputation for hair and scalp health.

Nettle Glycerine Extract

A liquid extract in vegetable glycerine — the clean-label, paraben-free, PG-free alternative. Perfect for natural and organic skincare brands, clean-label hair care, functional beverages, and gentle water-based formulations where a soothing humectant carrier is a formulation bonus rather than a compromise.
