HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Black Walnut by Red Moon Herbs

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: Black Walnut Green Hull Extract, Fresh. Black walnut hull is the outer covering of the black walnut fruit and is traditionally used to support health, though clinical evidence for its specific benefits is limited.

The liquid form also contains water and alcohol as inactive ingredients.

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

This is a single-ingredient Black Walnut product and its label doesn't state a use — see Black Walnut's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold for black walnut does not establish that it is effective for coronary heart disease or wound healing — the ratings are insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That means the research to date isn't strong enough to say whether it works for these uses.

We don't hold effectiveness data for other claimed uses either.

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 hull contains high amounts of tannins, compounds that can irritate your stomach and cause gastrointestinal upset when taken by mouth. The product may be acceptable for short-term use in most adults, but human safety data are limited and long-term use hasn't been well studied.

Tree nuts, including black walnuts, can trigger allergic reactions in people with tree nut allergies — tree nuts are a major food allergen in the United States.

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we checked. That said, always run your exact medications through the checker on this page before you start any new supplement, or ask your pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're considering black walnut for a specific health goal, know that the evidence supporting it isn't yet established in our data. It's generally well tolerated for short-term use but can cause stomach upset due to tannin content.

Anyone with a tree nut allergy should avoid it. Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to use it long-term.

Black Walnut by Red Moon Herbs: Common Questions

Does Black Walnut by Red Moon Herbs 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 while pregnant?
The safety data advises against black walnut during pregnancy — there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking black walnut?
The safety data advises against black walnut while breastfeeding — there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Your pharmacist or doctor can help you decide what's right for you and your baby.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common issue is gastrointestinal upset — nausea, stomach discomfort — because the hull is high in tannins. If you have a tree nut allergy, avoid it entirely, as black walnut can trigger allergic reactions.
How long can I safely take this?
Human safety data are limited, and long-term use hasn't been well studied. The product may be acceptable for short-term use in most adults, but check with your pharmacist about how long is right for you.
Does this actually work for heart health or wound healing?
The evidence we hold for black walnut on coronary heart disease and wound healing is insufficient — we can't say it works. Other uses also lack established evidence in our data.
