I recently added SN, and it almost instantly reduced my BPH symptoms. I went from getting up 5 times a night to getting up typically only twice a night.

Monika, Did you take the SN specifically for BPH? The reason I'm asking is because SP, Proscar (5 mg finasteride), nor PM has helped my BPH symptoms.

Yes. I don't know if I have BPH since no doctor or nurse practitioner has ever done a digital exam, but I certainly seem to have a lot of the symptoms. I have never had any benefit from SP, and from my reading, I get the impression it is the pumpkin seed oil found in most standardized SP extract products that actually provides whatever benefit. I have tried beta sitosterol as well, but it didn't seem to do anything for urinary issues. Pygeum by itself also provided no noticeable benefit for me, but I have seen others state it helps their symptoms. Of everything I have ever tried, SN is the only thing that seems to do anything for me, but that doesn't mean it will work for everyone. I would think if Proscar didn't help, a weaker herb like SN likely won't help, either, but it is worth a shot. I get mine from Swanson. https://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-superior-herbs-stinging-nettles-250-mg-120-caps I usually stock up when it goes on sale for half price or buy one, get one free which happens a few times a year. Perhaps a formula that contains more than one of these herbs, or separate doses of multiple BPH herbs might work better for you, but the more I learn about SP, the less certain I am it has much effect on BPH.
