Standardised Extract
St John’s Wort is a highly concentrated extract providing the equivalent of 1800mg of whole herb per capsule. St. John's wort for centuries has been used to treat mental disorders as well as nerve pain. In the ancient times, doctors and herbalists wrote about its use as a sedative and treatment for malaria as well as a balm for wounds, burns, and insect bites. St. John's wort today is used by some people to treat mild to moderate depression, anxiety, or sleep disorders.
St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum in Latin) is a long-living plant which has yellow flowers. It contains many chemical compounds, some which are believed to be the active ingredients that produce the herb's effects, including the compounds hypericin and hyperforin.
It is not yet known how these compounds work in the body however several theories have been suggested. Preliminary studies suggest that St. John's wort might work by preventing nerve cells in the brain from reabsorbing the chemical messenger serotonin, or by reducing levels of a protein involved in the body's immune system functioning.
Recommended dosage: Take 1 capsule 1-3 times a day.
Caution: Before taking this product, please check with your doctor or pharmacist, if you are taking any prescribed medicines, as St Johns Wort may affect the way they work.
