Black
Walnut [Intestinal]
Black Walnut
is a hardwood tree that averages 50 -
60 feet in height and up to three feet across the trunk. Black walnut hulls
contain tannins and quinone compounds. These tannins and quinone compounds are
the primary components that give this herb the ability to expel worms and other
parasites. It has been used to expel intestinal parasites, worms, and yeast.
Black Walnut is a rich source
of iodine and trace minerals. It also contains linolenic acid and vitamin C in
the form of ascorbic acid. Alkaloids in black walnut may have anti-tumor
properties.
The ancient Greeks used the hulls of black walnut
to support the intestinal system and the skin. Herbalists classify
black walnut as an astringent because it is rich in tannins, which have
toning properties. Black walnut’s fame in folk herbology is due to its
cleansing properties. The unripe hulls of the black walnut contain
vitamin C and the trace minerals chromium and iodine. Available in
capsules and in an alcohol-base liquid form. Each regular capsule
contains 500 mg black walnut. Each ATC concentrated capsule contains
480 mg black walnut concentrate.
