Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: cleanse and detoxify.
  • We looked for evidence on: intestinal parasites, digestive health, antimicrobial support.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for black walnut extract isn't well established for the conditions it's traditionally used for. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for coronary heart disease or wound healing.

If you're considering it for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Walnut

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Black walnut extract is generally well tolerated in the short term for most adults, but human safety data are limited and long-term use hasn't been well studied. The tannins it contains may cause stomach upset or other gastrointestinal discomfort.

Because black walnuts are a major tree nut allergen, there's a risk of allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to insufficient information.

Black Walnut by Herb Pharm: Common Questions

Does Black Walnut by Herb Pharm interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Black Walnut. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Black Walnut contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I have a tree nut allergy?
No — black walnuts are classified as a major tree nut allergen in the US, so they can cause allergic reactions in sensitive people. If you have a tree nut allergy, avoid this product and talk with your pharmacist or doctor.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common ones are stomach upset and digestive discomfort, since the tannins in black walnut can irritate your gut. If you apply it to skin, you might see temporary yellow or brown staining or mild skin irritation.
Is it safe to use this long-term?
The data suggests it's acceptable for short-term use in most adults, but human safety information is limited and long-term use hasn't been well studied. If you're thinking about taking it regularly for more than a few weeks, talk with your pharmacist.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it — there isn't enough information to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Does this product have any fillers?
It does contain inactive ingredients: certified organic cane alcohol, vegetable glycerin, vinegar, and distilled water — these help deliver and preserve the extract in liquid form.
What is black walnut extract actually used for?
It's traditionally used for coronary heart disease and wound healing, but our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for either condition. If you're interested in it for a specific reason, ask your pharmacist what the research actually shows.
