When it comes to resolving digestive issues, I use a lot of natural plant extracts.

They are extremely accessible, affordable and effective for addressing many different issues.

Black walnut hull is one of them.

Some of the benefits its shown include:

• ​Antioxidant​
• ​Anti-inflammatory​
• ​Anticancer​
• ​Antibacterial​
• ​Antiparasitic​
• ​Antiviral​
• ​Antifungal​

The outer hull of black walnuts has bioactive compounds that help disrupt cell walls, inhibit quorum sensing, increase membrane permeability as well as inhibit protein & DNA synthesis of pathogens.

Black walnut hull is believed to have potent antioxidant properties due to the polyphenols, flavonoids and juglone found in it. These substances can scavenge free radicals, chelate metal ions, inhibit lipid peroxidation, protect cellular components from oxidative damage and significantly inhibit cancer cell growth.

Its anti-inflammatory properties are credited to its ability to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-6 as well as the activation of NF-κB.

I've had success using this for its antimicrobial properties many times with pathogens like E. coli and Candida.

I've been able to find black walnuts and black walnut hull extract at grocery stores, supplement stores and places that sell herbs & spices.

It's usually very affordable too.

Time to black walnut max.
