HorseMood Saw Palmetto and Nettle Root: The Two Men's Health Herbs in the Blend
Saw palmetto and nettle root sit third and fourth on the HorseMood panel. They are often paired in men's health products. This post covers both, what the label shows and the questions worth asking first.
HorseMood contains saw palmetto extract (Serenoa repens, fruit) third and nettle extract (Urtica dioica L., root) fourth in its 1,200 mg Test Boost blend. Their exact amounts are not printed, but the printed order caps saw palmetto at 400 mg and nettle root at 300 mg per two-capsule serving. Both are common in men's health products.

What is saw palmetto in HorseMood?
Saw palmetto is a small palm native to the southeastern United States. The HorseMood panel lists Saw Palmetto Extract (Serenoa Repens) Fruit, so the extract comes from the berries. On our ingredients page it is listed for its fatty acids and sterols.
It is third of the eight names in the Test Boost Proprietary Blend. Saw palmetto is one of the most familiar herbs in men's health products, and it is a natural fit in a men's daily capsule.

What is nettle root in HorseMood?
Nettle is the stinging nettle plant. The HorseMood panel lists Nettle Extract (Urtica Dioica L.) Root, so the extract is made from the root rather than the leaf. That matters, because nettle root and nettle leaf are used for different things. The ingredients page lists nettle root for its lignans.
Nettle root sits fourth in the blend, right after saw palmetto. The two often appear side by side in men's formulas.
Why saw palmetto and nettle root appear together
Saw palmetto and nettle root are a classic pair. Both are linked with men's prostate and urinary comfort, and research has often studied them together. Nettle is studied mainly in combination with other herbs, including a saw palmetto combination for nighttime urinary frequency.
In HorseMood the pair sits in the middle of the blend. Ahead of them are the two classic men's herbs, horny goat weed and tongkat ali. After them come wild yam, sarsaparilla, orchic substance and boron.
How much saw palmetto and nettle root is in HorseMood?
The label does not print single amounts. It prints one number, 1,200 mg, for the whole blend. Because a blend lists its parts from heaviest to lightest, each position has a ceiling: the total divided by its place in the list.
| Ingredient | Position | Most it could weigh |
|---|---|---|
| Saw palmetto | 3rd of 8 | 400 mg |
| Nettle root | 4th of 8 | 300 mg |
These are upper limits per two-capsule serving, not amounts. At one capsule a day, each ceiling halves. The supplement facts page has the full panel.
Who should ask a doctor before HorseMood saw palmetto and nettle root?
Because this pair is linked with the prostate, the side effects page asks a few groups to speak up first.
- Anyone who takes medicine for the prostate.
- Anyone who is being monitored for a prostate condition, including PSA testing. Tell the clinician you take a product with saw palmetto.
- Anyone who takes blood pressure medicine or a water pill, since Memorial Sloan Kettering lists possible additive effects between nettle and these medicines.
- Anyone who notices a urinary change after starting. That is worth a doctor's visit rather than a wait.
The bottle's own caution applies too. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18 and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a physician first. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
How to take HorseMood with saw palmetto and nettle root
You take the pair as part of the whole blend. The label says one or two capsules daily with an 8 oz glass of water. Two capsules is the full 1,200 mg serving and a bottle lasts 30 days. One capsule is half a serving and a bottle lasts 60 days. The how to use page explains the choice.

Our view
Saw palmetto and nettle root are the men's health pair in the HorseMood blend: third and fourth on the panel, made from the saw palmetto fruit and the nettle root, and capped at 400 mg and 300 mg by the printed order.
For most adult men the next step is simple: follow the one or two capsule instruction. If you take prostate or blood pressure medicine, or you are being monitored for your prostate, show the panel to your doctor first.
