Historical Uses:
The Black Walnut Meat has long been used as a nutrient of great value because it is a good source of a vital trace element known as Manganese. Manganese is known to be essential to promote production of sex hormones, fat and carbohydrates as well as to activate various enzymes in the body. It allows regeneration of healthy connective tissue and promotes normal bone development. It is very effective when ligaments or tendons are drawing up or shrinking and are causing pain and joint swelling. Epilepsy, convulsions, hyperactivity, poor muscle coordination, learning disabilities and some forms of mental disorders are due to nutritional disorders involving an inadequate supply of Manganese. Black Walnut Meat can help correct this nutritional deficiency.
