Black walnut hull has a long history in North America. Swanson makes a simple capsule out of it, with 500 mg of finely ground hull per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the hull comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black walnut tree grows mainly in the eastern United States and can grow dozens of meters tall. Around the nut is a thick, green husk. That husk, or hull, is the part that is used here. It is harvested while it is still green, then dried and finely ground into a powder. So it is a different part of the plant than the hard nut you crack in the kitchen. The hull is known in the herbal world for its deep, almost inky color, which can seriously discolor your fingers if you touch fresh specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Full Spectrum means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany herbal products isolate a few substances and leave out the rest of the plant. With a Full Spectrum product, that is precisely not the case. You get the complete, ground hull of the black walnut, with everything that naturally occurs in it, in the ratio the plant itself produces. So it is not a highly concentrated extract, but the whole herb in powder form. For many people, that feels like a fair, recognizable way of working: the plant as it is, without parts disappearing along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe substances in the hull\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black walnut hull naturally contains juglone, a naphthoquinone compound that is responsible for the typical dark color. In addition, it contains astringent substances (tannins) and polyphenols. Astringent substances are the astringent substances you also taste in strong tea or unripe fruit. These are the plant-specific compounds that make the hull so characteristic. They are naturally present in the plant material and are not added separately in a Full Spectrum powder, but are also not removed. What the plant itself contains is preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe capsule and the dosage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule contains 500 mg of ground hull. The recommended amount is one capsule per day, with food and a glass of water. A bottle contains sixty capsules, enough for about two months. Good to know: the capsule itself is made of gelatin, an animal protein, so this product is not plant-based. The contents, the ground hull, are. Because it is a walnut product, it contains tree nuts, something to pay attention to with a nut allergy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a straightforward herbal capsule: the whole hull of the black walnut, 500 mg per capsule, in a bottle of sixty. Simple, complete, and without frills.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swanson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47414856450386,"sku":"Swanson-009","price":5.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/swansonblackwalnuthulls.jpg?v=1701941101","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/swanson-zwarte-walnootschil-500mg-60-capsules","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
