What's inside Hardero - a complete ingredient overview
Hardero is a plant-based men's supplement capsule NZ residents can order online. Here we break down every active ingredient, its traditional use and its EFSA-recognised nutrient contribution.
Saw Palmetto Extract
Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a small palm native to the southeastern United States. Its berry extract has been traditionally used as part of everyday wellness routines for men across several centuries of herbal practice in Europe and North America.
As a saw palmetto supplement NZ men can now access online, Hardero includes a standardised extract. Saw palmetto is a botanical ingredient - it is not an EFSA-approved medicinal substance and Hardero makes no health claims on its behalf. It is included as part of a traditional use formula.
Traditional use ingredient. Not a medicine. Food supplement only.
Nettle Root Extract
Nettle root (Urtica dioica radix) has a long tradition of use in European herbal practice, particularly for men's everyday wellness routines. The root extract is distinct from the leaf and has been used traditionally for centuries.
Hardero includes nettle root as a plant-based men's supplement capsule component - contributing to the botanical dimension of the formula alongside saw palmetto. No medicinal claim is made.
