Ingredients explained
Black walnut hull extract (Juglans nigra)
Black walnut hulls provide tannins and naphthoquinones that may support a balanced gut environment through astringent and antimicrobial actions.

Caution: Contains tree nut; avoid if you have a walnut allergy, and high tannin content may bother sensitive stomachs.

Wormwood herb extract (Artemisia absinthium)
Wormwood supplies bitter sesquiterpene lactones that stimulate digestive secretions and may influence gut microbial balance.

Caution: Not advised during pregnancy or for those with liver concerns due to potential hepatic stress from bitter compounds.

Clove bud extract (Syzygium aromaticum)
Clove is rich in eugenol, which has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties that may support a healthy digestive milieu.

Caution: May irritate sensitive stomachs; high eugenol intake can interact with blood-thinning effects.

How they work together
Black walnut hulls offer astringent and antimicrobial constituents, while wormwood’s bitters encourage digestive secretions and microbial balance; clove contributes eugenol-based antioxidant and antimicrobial support.
