WITH THEIR 2-LOBED APPEARANCE RESEMBLING A BRAIN, IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT WALNUTS AID COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND SHARPEN THE MEMORY. Walnuts are not only a good source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, but also contain ALPHA-LINOLEIC ACID, an omega-3 essential fatty acid that makes them unique among nuts. Omega-3 fats provide cardiovascular protection and aide brain function; they are also anti-inflammatory and so are useful in the treatment of asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and skin disorders, such as eczema and psoriasis. In addition, walnuts contain the amino acid ARGININE, which helps to keep blood vessels flexible, and ELLAGIC ACID, an antioxidant that research has shown to have powerful anti-cancer properties. NUTRIENTS: VITS., B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 & E BIOTIN CALCIUM COPPER IODINE IRON MAGNESIUM MANGANESE PHOSPHORUS POTASSIUM SELENIUM ZINC FIBER PROTEIN MONOUNSATURATED FATS OMEGA-3 & OMEGA-6 ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
