"Ameliorative effect of IDS 30, a stinging nettle leaf extract, on chronic colitis" in International Journal of Colorectal Disease, Volume 20, Number 1 - SpringerLink
"The stinging nettle leaf extract, IDS 30, is an adjuvant remedy in rheumatic diseases dependent on a cytokine suppressive effect. ... The long-term use of IDS 30 is effective in the prevention of chronic murine colitis. This effect seems to be due to a decrease in the Th1 response and may be a new therapeutic option for prolonging remission in inflammatory bowel disease."
"The Effect of Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) Seed Oil on Experimental Colitis in Rats" in Journal of Medicinal Food (2011)
"We found that UDO decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6], lactate dehydrogenase, triglyceride, and cholesterol, which were increased in colitis. UDO administration ameliorated the TNBS-induced [trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid ] disturbances in colonic tissue except for MDA [malondialdehyde]. In conclusion, UDO, through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions, merits consideration as a potential agent in ameliorating colonic inflammation."
