Black Walnut Wormwood Complex Liquid | 59 ml | NOW Foods

Black Walnut Wormwood Complex Liquid by NOW Foods

Are you looking for a liquid black walnut wormwood herbal formula? This one from NOW Foods combines green black walnut hulls, mugwort, and clove buds in a liquid tincture. These three botanical ingredients are often combined together in a single formula. One bottle contains 59 ml.

Three botanical ingredients

The formula brings together three classic herbs. The first is the green hull of the black walnut (Juglans nigra), the fleshy outer husk surrounding the nut. The second is mugwort (Artemisia absinthium), a bitter plant that has a long history in Europe and is best known as the signature herb in absinthe. The third is the clove bud (Syzygium aromaticum), the dried, unopened flower bud of the clove tree that you also know as a warm kitchen spice. Clove is, by the way, one of the oldest trade spices in the world and was literally worth its weight in gold for centuries. Mugwort owes its fame mainly to absinthe, the strong liquor made with it in the nineteenth century and which was banned for a long time because of its thujone content. These three botanicals are often combined in a single formula, and that trio composition gives the black walnut wormwood formula its name. In this product, they are included as extracts, processed in a liquid tincture.

A liquid tincture with alcohol

A tincture is a liquid herbal extract in which the plant substances are extracted from the material using a base of water and alcohol. That is the classic, centuries-old way to make herbs liquid, and that is exactly what NOW Foods does here: the black walnut wormwood extracts are in a water-alcohol base. The alcohol serves as a solvent and preservative and ensures that the tincture remains shelf-stable for a long time. In a tincture, the plant extracts are therefore dissolved in the liquid itself, instead of in a capsule or tablet. Because mugwort naturally contains a substance called thujone, and because there is alcohol in it, this is expressly a product for adults. These properties also explain the extensive safety information you will find further down on this page and on the label.

Liquid dosing with a dropper

The bottle comes with a dropper, with which you measure the liquid. A serving is approximately 1.6 ml, i.e., one full dropper, and a 59 ml bottle provides approximately 37 servings. The drops are taken diluted in water or juice; shaking well before use is required, because plant extracts can settle. The liquid form is for those who prefer to use drops instead of capsules, and makes it easy to measure out the amount according to the label instructions.

Short, recognizable herbal formula

What characterizes this black walnut wormwood tincture is its straightforward composition: three recognizable botanical ingredients in a water-alcohol base, without a broad blend of ten herbs. You can see exactly which three plants are in it. It is a product for adults who want to use this classic herbal combination in liquid form and observe the safety information. Because there are exactly three plants in it, you keep a good eye on what you are using yourself. In short: a clear, liquid three-herb formula from a brand known for clear labels and controlled production.
