Hyperforin: The Proven Mood Enhancing Active in St. John's Wort
New clinical research reveals hyperforin-rich Perika to be more effective in promoting a positive mood than low hyperforin St. John's Wort. In fact, 15% more users reported much or very much improved emotional status by using Perika in comparison to other St. John's Wort.* * G. Laakmann, C. Schule, T. Baghai, M.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perika, January 22, 2004

By A Customer

I've been using Perika for several months and I've found that it's working better for me than any other brand of St. John's Wort. I've suffered depression for years and this product has helped me. I would reccommend it to anyone, particularly before using a prescription drug. Drugs never worked for me. Just give it at least a three month trial.

5.0 out of 5 stars Effective for me for mild to moderate depression, May 11, 2007

By 

Faith Randall - See all my reviews

Perika St. John's Wort contains the hyperforin part of the plant, which recent studies have shown to be the component that affects depression. I can attest to this, because I have used other SJW products containing the whole plant, and they did nothing to help me.

I actually find Perika similar in effect to Zoloft, which I took for two years. There are absolutely no side effects with Perika, it is 10% of the cost of Zoloft, and easily available. The half-life of hyperforin, however, is about 9 hours, unlike Zoloft at around 25 hours, so it's important to take Perika three times a day. If I miss a dose, I can feel my serotonin levels dipping.

As all the disclaimers state, don't take something for depression before consulting a physician. I agree, especially with severe depression which I experienced after my husband's lengthy serious illness (that's why I started on Zoloft). However, there is a place for Perika if the depression is mild to moderate, and if there is adequate emotional support nearby to initiate an alternative treatment in case the Perika doesn't work. However, if it does work, it's a very simple solution to a very complex problem.

This review is from: Perika St John Wort 60 Tablets (Health and Beauty)

I've been using Perika for 4 years for mild depression. I have tried other brands, even more expensive brands but this absolutely works for me!

I will continue to buy my Perika from this seller, super fast shipping.
