A combination of black walnut and natural herbal ingredients that relieves digestive upsets. Traditionally used in Herbal Medicine as a digestive tonic to aid digestion and help relieve dyspepsia. Quassia, black walnut, and pumpkin seeds are traditionally used in Herbal Medicine as anthelmintics. Contains 400 mg of black walnut shell, quassia bark, and yarrow per daily dose. Includes 200 mg of gentian root and pumpkin seed extracts, 300 mg of wormwood, and 100 mg of clove bud per daily dose. Black walnut capsules contain a blend of herbs traditionally used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve digestive upsets. Black walnut, quassia, wormwood, and gentian root all contain extremely bitter components, including tannins, quassine, absinthine, and amarogentin. These bitter components stimulate the nerves in the taste buds to increase the release of saliva and gastric juices, aiding digestion. The bitter components may also bind receptors on endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, leading to the secretion of the peptide hormone cholecystokinin. In turn, bile salts and digestive enzymes from the pancreas are released, increasing gastric motility. Gentian root and quassia may help relieve dyspepsia by enhancing prostaglandin-mediated cytoprotection in the gastric membrane; prostaglandins stimulate the release of mucus and sodium bicarbonate in the stomach. Quassia, black walnut, and pumpkin seeds are also used in traditional herbal medicine as vermifuges (to facilitate the expulsion of parasitic worms).
