Key Nutritional Profile (Per 1-Ounce / 28g Serving)

• Heart Health: High amounts of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and polyphenols help lower total cholesterol, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure while improving blood vessel function. [1, 2, 3]
• Brain Function & Cognition: Packed with antioxidants, vitamin E, and omega-3s that help protect brain cells from oxidative stress, support memory, and slow age-related mental decline. [1, 2, 3]
• Gut Microbiome Support: Act as a prebiotic by feeding beneficial gut bacteria. Microbes convert walnut plant compounds (ellagitannins) into anti-inflammatory urolithins. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Reduced Inflammation & Chronic Disease Risk: High antioxidant activity (greater than other nuts) helps fight systemic oxidative stress linked to heart disease and type 2 diabetes
