I'd read some wonderful things about the effectiveness of St. John's wort for treating mild to moderate depression and anxiety. However, I was unimpressed when I tried other products. I then came across an article discussing how any company can grind up St. John's wort, put it in a bottle, and market it, but very few brands have been standardized and used in clinical trials. This is one of those brands, and the results I've gotten from it are superb. I have used this product exclusively for about three years, and I truly believe this product has allowed me to cope and to thrive despite my tendencies towards anxiety and mild depression. Highly recommended.

This was my first time using St. John's Wort. I wanted to get a reputable product so that my experience with it would accurately gauge it's efficacy. The first few days I felt significantly more mentally energized. I also felt more susceptible to anxiety, which I was able to suppress with some simple relaxation techniques. After about a week I became more comfortable with being "up" and the potential for anxiety decreased. After 2 weeks of use I feel much more positive about things and have a relaxed, energized feeling. Be aware that you will become slightly more sensitive to sunlight and should avoid certain foods like yogurt and bananas. Kwai-Kira definitely works for me and is well worth the money.

I am not sure St. John's Wort will work for most people, but it works well for some. I was using a cheaper brand - but then that brand seemed to lose it's effectiveness. Was it me? Was I too stressed out?

I switched to the brand used in testing - Kira. The SJW effect came back strongly. This works well.

Start here for a few months - then try cheaper brands if you want. They may not work as well, since there is no government regulation ensuring quality.

I tried the spring valley brand and results vary. Kira works great and is consistant!!!!

I really like this product because it helps me fall asleep at night after I have alot of studying. It helps me to relax my mind

At first, I didn't know what was wrong with me..... I asked questions around online, and i found out i had clinical depression. Someone recommended Saint John's Wart to me, and I ordered it online. I made sure it didn't conflict with any of my medications, and soon i was taking it. I didn't remember the last time i felt like that.. It worked very well with me. For a while, i thought i was allergic to it, but then i found out i was allergic to tomatoes..... So I'm all good!!!

Stronger, yet more natural than many of the other St. John's Wort I've tried. Had a better mood, could think more clearly and was still definitely being myself. I would recommend at least giving this product a shot. I am very glad I found it.

Thank you amazon.com! I have been unable to find Kira brand ST. John's Wort for years until now. The other brands are garbage and make you sleepy and/or grumpy. Kira is a fine find!

This didn't seem to be helping after 2 weeks, but after probably a month, I'm starting to think it's working. It's hard to tell, since I'm not drastically different, but the little things make me think that it is. For example, I'm slower to snap at my boyfriend lately. I still feel sad sometimes (with no good cause), but haven't felt hopeless in a couple weeks, and I seem to be less irritable.

I really like the size of the capsules compared to the last St. John's Wort I got. I have a really hard time swallowing large pills so with the other one some days I couldn't get it down and eventually I just gave up on taking it. These ones are easy for me to swallow. And they taste good.

One bad thing that I've noticed is that I've been getting stomach cramps lately. I think it's this stuff. I noticed it the first few times I took it, and now I seem to notice it if I eat certain things like bread and yogurt. I know another reviewer said you're not supposed to eat yogurt or bananas while on these but I can't get by without those foods! So sometimes if I'm going to have one of those foods I'll just skip a dose.

So yeah. I don't really like the stomach pains, but overall I think taking this is definitely better than not taking it. And of the two brands I've tried, this is the better one.

After taking Paxil for the past 5+ years, my wife and I decided it was time for me to try getting off that nasty stuff. At first it was hell. I couldn't think right but I was constantly pissed...or better yet disturbed. I have about 8 friends that are closer to brothers to me. We've been friends since I was 6yrs old, but I'd find myself feeling out of place and hesitant to say a word around them. Obviously this lead to a lack of self-esteem for a few months. Anyhow, through lots of trial and error I've stumbled across Kira's St. John's Wort, 5-HTP, Rhodiola Rosea, and fish oil. Never felt better and honestly feel like I'm back on the Paxil at times...things are just coming easier to me and I'm no longer a shell of my former self. Out of the products listed, I'd say that 5-HTP gives me the least ammount of positive gain. In fact, it just gives me a headache mostly and makes me tired. St. John's Wort has paid dividends since the 3rd time I used it and I will stay on this for years to come. Next on the horizon is SAM-e...the trial and error is expensive but so worth it to find something natural that balances me out! Hope this helps...
