Black Walnut Hull Tincture
4 oz Extra Strength

DISTRIBUTION
Black Walnut Hulls come from the immature fruit of the Black Walnut Tree, Juglans nigra, a short-trunked forest tree with a spreading crown. The Black Walnut Tree is indigenous to the Middle East, but it is currently grown in the U.S., Canada and Europe as well. In the U.S., the Black Walnut Tree is found from Georgia as far west as Kansas and Minnesota.

JUGLONE
Danger! Keep clear! This is the warning issued by the Black Walnut Tree, one of nature’s hardiest survivors. This warning goes out to pests of all kinds: root-nibbling insects and larvae, burrowing beetles and worms, and all manner of plants which would encroach on the Black Walnut Tree’s territory.

This warning message is transmitted primarily through the chemical juglone (5-hydroxy-alphanapthaquinone). The bark, root, leaves, and nuts of the Black Walnut Tree all contain juglone, a potent pesticide and herbicide.

Juglone creates a protective zone around the Black Walnut Tree. Nothing grows and nothing lives within this protective zone that surrounds the tree. The protective zone of a mature Black Walnut Tree may describe a 50- to 80-foot radius from the trunk, forming a perfect safeguarding circle that ensures the tree’s health and survival. It is a common adage among foresters that "nothing grows near a Black Walnut Tree."

TRADITIONAL USE
Black Walnut Hulls (Juglans nigra) are traditionally used as an antiseptic laxative for the lower bowels, and as a purgative agent for expelling unwelcome organisms. Black walnut hulls, harvested when green, contain a maximum amount of juglone.

Quality Guarantee
The Black Walnut Hull Tincture - Extra Streangth far surpasses the quality of any of the hight quality tinctures available in the health food stores. This is because of three facts. First, it is extra streangth; meaning it contains double the amount of Black Walnut Hull than the regular streangth tinctures. Second, it contains tincture made from the highly potent green hull of the Black Walnut, this is important because the green hull contains high amounts of Juglone, an essential ingredient in the tincture. Third, the tincture is fresh. We manufacture the tinctures every 4 months. This ensures that we always have fresh tincture in stock. In fact its so fresh that we guarantees the tincture to stay green in the unopened bottles until Use By Date.

Laboratory tests have shown that when the tincture is green it contains double the amount of Juglone compared to a dark brown or black tincture. After you open the bottle it starts to turn brown and then black. Don't worry it still contains at least the same amount of Juglone as the other high quality Black Walnut Tinctures you get in the health food store. Take double the amounts after your tincture turns brown.

Levels of Juglone in a typical tincture (black in color) from the health food store is 0.299 parts per million. (ref 1)

Level of Juglone in the green tincture sold by Dr. Clark Store contains 114% more Juglone: 0.641 parts per million. (ref 2)

In laboratory tests, Juglone an essential ingredient in Black Walnut Hull, is found in significantly higher levels when the tincture is green than when it has aged and turned black.

Note that we only guarantee unopened bottles of tincture to stay green until use by date.

After you open the bottle it starts to turn brown and then black. Don't worry it still contains at least the same amount of Juglone as the other high quality Black Walnut Tinctures you get in the health food store. Refrigerate before and after opening and use within four weeks.

We accept returns on open bottles of the tincture, but make sure that none of the tincture is missing. Check the color of the tincture immediately after you open the bottle, if it is brown or black, then do not consume it if you want to return it back to us. Instead give us a call toll free at 1-866-372-5275 for our return address and return authorization number.
