Black Walnut Hulls 500 mg by NOW Foods

Are you looking for black walnut hulls in capsule form? Black Walnut Hulls by NOW Foods contains 500 mg of black walnut hulls per capsule, from Juglans nigra. Black walnut is a botanical ingredient. It is not a broad blend, but contains a single main ingredient. One bottle contains 100 capsules.

What black walnut is

The black walnut is the fruit of Juglans nigra, a large deciduous tree that originally grows in eastern North America. It is a family member of the common walnut we know, but with a thicker, harder shell. The part used in this product is the hull: the green, fleshy outer shell surrounding the actual nut. This outer shell is not the hard nut shell, but the bolster around it. Black walnut hull is incorporated into herbal formulas as a separate botanical ingredient. It is characterized by the fact that the shell contains a dark brown, strongly coloring substance: juglone. This same substance causes black walnut to naturally color everything it comes into contact with brown, from hands to countertops, and it is the reason the shell was also used in the past as a natural dye and ink. The tree itself is known for its dark, beautiful wood, which is highly sought after in furniture making; the nuts and their shells are actually a byproduct of that. Black walnut is therefore a plant with a culinary, artisanal, and herbal history.

The hull of Juglans nigra

This product contains the ground hull powder of the black walnut, i.e., the dried and ground outer shell. Each capsule provides 500 mg, a fixed amount that is clearly stated on the label. It is a single product: only the hull of Juglans nigra, without any other herbs or extracts added. This makes it a targeted choice for those who specifically want to use this botanical ingredient and want to maintain control over any combinations themselves. Because it is the complete, ground plant material and not a highly concentrated extract, you get the hull in a recognizable, natural form. A slight color variation between batches is normal for a natural botanical ingredient and says nothing about the quality; it is part of a product that comes directly from the plant.

Clear herbal formula

The composition is short and clear: black walnut hulls as the main ingredient, in a plant-based hypromellose capsule, supplemented only with some functional excipients such as rice flour, stearic acid of plant origin, and silicon dioxide. There are no broad herbal mixes or unnecessary additives. Because the capsule is plant-based, the product fits within a vegetarian or vegan diet. Important to know: because black walnut is a nut, this product is not suitable for those with a nut or walnut allergy.

Who this is for

This black walnut is intended for those who want to use this botanical ingredient separately and in a fixed amount, without a blend around it. You get the hull of Juglans nigra in a plant-based capsule, nothing else of significance. In short: a single, plant-based herbal formula from a brand known for clear labels and controlled production.
