What to combine the nettle care product with?

If there is a need for increased remineralization, nettle can be supplemented with a marine algae treatment, such as lithothamnum. This oceanic algae is a source of easily assimilated calcium and magnesium, useful in the event of a deficient diet or demineralization. Lithothamne is also recommended for gastric acidity.
