How to pick and use a supplement

Supplements come as capsules, tinctures, and powders. Labels typically list either whole extract or hull extract. For convenience, most people prefer standardized capsules. Look for third-party testing or a certificate of analysis on the brand website. That shows what’s actually in the bottle and whether the product contains contaminants or fillers.

Dosage on supplement labels varies. Common product guidance ranges from low single-digit hundreds of milligrams to larger doses, depending on extract strength. Follow the label and start low. If you feel any stomach pain, rash, or other new symptoms, stop and talk to your healthcare provider.

Watch for interactions. Black Walnut can contain tannins and other active compounds. If you take blood thinners, are pregnant, nursing, or have a serious health condition, check with your provider before trying it. The full article lists groups who should avoid it and suggests safe alternatives when appropriate.
