Our detox products contain many beneficial herbs and vitamins designed to clean your body and help you pass a drug test.  One of these helpful ingredients is the black walnut hull.  The black walnut is also known as the American walnut and can be found all along the eastern seaboard from northern parts of Florida through Ontario, Canada and as far west as Texas and the Dakotas.  It was introduced to Europe in the 17^th century and has become a favorite material for woodworking enthusiasts.  Because of its popularity with woodworkers, the black walnut trees are seldom found growing to their potentially mammoth size anymore as they are harvested well before they can achieve their maximum size.

The black walnut has been used medicinally for centuries because it contains a few ingredients that have healing properties.  Three of these components are juglone, tannins, and natural iodine.  Juglone is found throughout all parts of the black walnut tree and is a powerful agent in fighting bacteria, fungus and parasites.  Tannins also are helpful to humans to help fight against bacteria, diarrhea, tumors, ulcers, blood disorders and even some types of cancers.  Iodine is useful to humans as an antiseptic agent and to help produce a thyroid hormone.  Iodine is required in all living species and if there is an inadequate supply of iodine in the system, complications like chronic fatigue, depression and even mental disorders can arise.  This is why table salt is iodized so that people will consume enough and get their recommended daily requirements.  Iodine fights against bacteria and strengthens the body’s immune system.

The black walnut has many other health benefits including helping with the digestion process, promoting regular bowel movements, oxygenating blood to keep the organs healthy, balancing blood sugar and reducing cholesterol levels.  Many herbalists also promote the use of the black walnut for afflictions such as colitis, hemorrhoids, eczema, ringworm, tonsillitis, sore throat, acne and thyroid problems.
