Wormwood, Black Walnut & Clove Capsules: Complex or Single Herb?
Two of the botanicals in this classic trio are likely already in your home. Clove is the familiar, aromatic flower bud used in everyday cooking, whilst wormwood provides the signature bitter note found in vermouth and absinthe [2][3]. The third ingredient, however, the green hull of the North American black walnut, is largely unfamiliar to most [4]. When these three distinct plants are combined into a single supplement, it naturally raises practical questions: what exactly are these ingredients, and what does a measurement like 525mg actually mean for your daily intake?
This guide explains what 525mg means, how the complex compares with our organic wormwood and organic clove, and which capsule fits your day.

Which is right for you: the wormwood, black walnut and clove complex or a single herb?
The choice is simpler than the long product names suggest. You are choosing between the convenience of three plants in one capsule, or a higher amount of a single plant.
Clove, wormwood and green black walnut complex: all three in one capsule
Want the classic trio without juggling three pouches? Our Clove, Wormwood and Green Black Walnut Complex puts 175mg of each plant into one capsule a day, and you’ll find it in our Daily Wellbeing collection too. It is also our only product with black walnut hull.
A pouch of 90 lasts 90 days for £8.99, about 10p a day, in a vegan capsule.
All three sit in our herbal supplements range.
Organic wormwood capsules: one plant, 500mg
Is wormwood the plant you came for? Our Organic Wormwood 500mg capsules hold 500mg of organic wormwood powder, nearly three times the 175mg in the complex. They belong to our organic range: certified organic, one a day, £8.99 for 90.
Organic clove capsules: one plant, 500mg
If it’s the familiar flower bud you want, our Organic Clove 500mg capsules hold 500mg of organic clove powder: the ground flower bud, with nothing extracted. They are certified organic, one a day, £9.99 for 90, about 11p a day.
What 525mg means on the wormwood, black walnut and clove label
You’ll spot the 525mg on the front of the pouch, but the story is on the back. It is simply 175mg of black walnut, 175mg of clove and 175mg of wormwood added together: all three plants in one capsule.
175mg black walnut hull + 175mg clove + 175mg wormwood = the 525mg on the front · £8.99 ÷ 90 capsules = about 10p a day. All three products are whole powders, so there is no extract ratio to convert.
Clove, Wormwood and Green Black Walnut Complex, nutrition panel [5]
The ingredients list on the label tells you more. The black walnut is green black walnut hull powder, the outer husk of the fruit and not the nut, and the capsule shell is hypromellose, which is plant-derived. Brown rice flour is there to fill the capsule evenly.
Whole powder or extract: what our wormwood capsules and clove capsules contain
All three of our products are whole powders: the dried plant, ground. Nothing has been extracted or concentrated, so the milligrams on the label are the plant part itself.

What is wormwood, and what are black walnut and clove?
Three plants from three corners of the world. Wormwood is Artemisia absinthium, a bitter plant of the daisy family, and the part used is the herb: the leaves and flowering tops that grow above ground [3]. You may have tasted it without realising, because it is the flavouring behind absinthe and vermouth [3].
Clove is the dried flower bud of Syzygium aromaticum, a tree native to Indonesia, and its buds have been dried and used for their aroma for centuries [2]. A clove powder is simply those buds, ground.
What part of the black walnut is in the capsule?
Black walnut is the eastern black walnut tree, Juglans nigra, native to eastern North America and grown for its timber and its nut [4]. The ingredient in our complex is neither of those. It is the green outer hull of the fruit, dried and ground, which is what the label means by green black walnut hull powder [5].

How to take wormwood, black walnut and clove capsules
All three products are one capsule a day with water, and none of the labels names a time of day. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and out of reach of young children.
As the label says, the complex is not intended for children, or for pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you have a medical condition or take any medication, the label also asks you to consult a healthcare professional first [5].
Three plants, one capsule, no guesswork
Want the trio? Our Clove, Wormwood and Green Black Walnut Complex keeps it simple: 175mg of each plant in one vegan capsule a day, 90 days to a pouch, about 10p a day. See whether one capsule a day fits your routine.

Wormwood, black walnut and clove FAQs
1. What are the benefits of wormwood, black walnut and clove?
UK rules authorise no health claim for any of the three, so the useful answer is the label itself [1]. It tells you exactly what each capsule contains, which part of each plant it is, and what a day’s capsule costs.
2. Can I take wormwood capsules every day?
Yes, the labels are written for daily use: one capsule a day with water, and no more than that. A pouch of 90 therefore lasts 90 days.
3. Is black walnut a tree nut?
Yes, black walnut is a tree-nut species. The ingredient is the hull rather than the nut, but the complex does contain walnut. Our Organic Wormwood 500mg and Organic Clove 500mg capsules contain no walnut.
4. Are your wormwood and clove capsules organic?
The two single-herb products are certified organic: Organic Wormwood 500mg and Organic Clove 500mg both carry the EU organic leaf on the pouch. The three-plant complex isn’t certified organic.
5. Can I take the organic wormwood and organic clove capsules together?
Each label gives one capsule a day of its own plant, and neither label says you cannot take them together. If you want both in one capsule, the complex puts clove and wormwood together, with black walnut hull as the third plant.
6. Are the wormwood, black walnut and clove capsules vegan?
Yes. All three products use a hypromellose shell, which is plant-derived, and contain only plant powders and a plant-based filler.
Choose the Clove, Wormwood and Green Black Walnut Complex if you want all three plants in one capsule, 175mg of each, for about 10p a day. Choose Organic Wormwood 500mg or Organic Clove 500mg if you want one plant, nearly three times the amount, certified organic. Whichever you choose, it is one capsule a day, from about 10p.
