I think its new. Personally, I dont really trust anything that comes from a plant. Does anybody here know about this stuff or similar stuff? Does it actually work? Im sceptical.
Urtica Dioica is the latin name for stinging Nettle; Testo sting retails at about 50 quid but you can get Stinging nettle tablets from Holland and Barrett for under a tenner (300mg per tab and 100 tabs per bottle).
Test sting = Over priced scam

The research does show an elevation in Free- test levels (Nettle is a bit like natures Proviron in that regard) however the impact on IGF levels and thyroid, if i recall correctly, were negligible.
It is also quite an effective diuretic if used properly.

You can tell your mate he's been done, good an' proper!! :?
