Yes it is straight bulk, organicaly grown from a local brick and mortar co-op. I don't recommend it but I wanted to see if I could find an equivalent to the extract. Turns out that sixteen 1/4 tsps (or 4 tsps) per day of bulk is what is needed.
Keep in mind that all of the ligands (except one) in Nettle Root bind to SHBG (all are weak binders except the one DS isolated in their extract) so it makes since that bulk Nettle in quantity will work.
I also get a big benefit in the prostate support bulk nettle gives.
Next time I run the NHA stack I'll pick up some bulk Nettle extract and it will be way more convienent and price effective for sure.
