Would taking a dandelion root supplement and a stinging nettle supplement at the same time have too much of a diuretic effect?

I take dandelion root capsules (1500 mg) once daily because I find it helps with the water retention I’m sometimes prone to. It’s not a miracle-worker, but it definitely helps!

I was really curious about trying stinging nettle (also in capsule form) for my allergy symptoms but I know it’s a diuretic like dandelion is.

Would it be OK to take it daily as well as the dandelion, but just ensure I drink more fluids if I feel dehydrated? If so, what would be a good dose to take? Or is it not advisable? I know there are some really knowledgeable people on here and I’m pretty clueless!

TIA for any advice 😊
