The Black Walnut, also called the American Walnut, grows almost all across the USA and Canada. The trees grow significantly with trunks averaging a meter in diameter and about 30 meters in height. The tree nut grows a very hard, rubbery outer shell turning black after falling off and secreting a glutinous, acrid black-green juice, which can stain your clothing and hands. The organic diversity of Black Walnut denotes that it is free of pesticides, chemical fertilizers and herbicides, and provides the top quality nuts and some other produces utilized in alternative medicine, for example, in detox products.

Natural Black Walnut Hull provides numerous health advantages owing to its unique composition of natural iodine, tannins, and juglone. Various cultures have used Black Walnut leaves, nuts, and stems for folk treatments in curing negative health conditions. Besides, the nuts are tasty, having a rich, hearty flavor, though are difficult to get since the shell is quite strong and can extend down fibers into the core.

The main ingredients of Black Walnut:

1. Juglone is a great defensive adaptation called a phytotoxic allelochemical. It can be found in every part of the tree: the bark, wood, leaves, the hull, and the roots. This material is toxic to most plant species like laurels, pine, apple, azaleas, and some fruit-bearing species. Juglone shows potential as an excellent fungicide, bactericide, and parricide. Thus, many healthcare practitioners consider Juglone an important ingredient of Black Walnut, so cultivate it for the natural health supplements use.
2. Tannins are polyphenols that are produced by various plant species for warding off attacks from bacteria and insects and reducing its inflammability. They are found in some organic beverages, fruits, berries, pomegranates, as well as wine grapes. These polyphenols are believed to resist various conditions and diseases like diarrhea, blood disorders, tumors, stress, ulcers, and cancer.
3. Iodine, another important component of Black Walnut Hull, is a must for almost each living organism. Though elemental Iodine can be toxic in great amounts, it has been broadly used in traditional and alternative medicine thanks to its antiseptic properties.

Thus, kelp and some other ocean-faring plants are consumed as important organic Iodine sources owing to its rich concentration in seawater. Besides, it is required to generate the thyroid hormone and its lack can cause the onset of chronic fatigue, goiters, depression, and even mental impairment. In order to support its required consumption, all common table salt is iodized. Iodine attaches itself to dangerous bacteria and lessens their lifespan, thus this nutrient is the best choice for making the natural immune response of the body.
