Product Description

A daily intake of St. John's wort herb, standardized to 2.7 mg of hypericin, may support a positive outlook and mood. St. John's Wort is far from new - it has an impressive history of use in traditional cultures. But its use in supporting a positive mental outlook is gaining newfound acceptance. And today, science has given us the tools to offer a St. John's Wort product that is standardized to contain an optimal amount of its key constituent, hypericin. St. John's Wort - A Popular Choice The use of St. John's Wort, or Hypericum perforatum, has become especially widespread in Germany, where consumers have turned to this exceptional botanical in large numbers. In 1994 alone, almost 66 million daily doses of standardized St. John's Wort extract (hypericum) were dispensed in Germany. Among the reported benefits of St. John's Wort are moodbrightening, relaxation, alertness, and a sense of overall well-being. In addition to support for the nervous system, St. John's Wort is believed to support the body's natural defenses. The Beneficial Constituents of St. John's Wort The specific beneficial constituents of the St. John's Wort plant are believed to be the naphthodianthrones, especially hypericin and pseudohypericin, and a wide variety of flavonoids. Source Naturals St. John's Wort is standardized to consistently yield 0.3% hypericin. Three tablets, the suggested usage, contain 900 mg of St. John's Wort extract, yielding 2.7 mg hypericin. This is the optimal amount found in most studies to support a positive outlook and overall sense of well-being. For best results, St. John's Wort should be taken for at least 4-6 weeks. Traditional Uses of St. John's Wort St. John's Wort, a stalky perennial with golden yellow flowers, is native to Europe but now found throughout North America. Its petals are peppered with translucent black dots, which will turn your fingers red if you rub them; it is this red pigment that is believed to contain most of the beneficial constituents. St. Jo

5.0 out of 5 stars great product for sleep, September 26, 2008

By	sandy10m (Berkeley CA United States) - See all my reviews

I have big problems falling asleep and staying asleep since I have chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and a few other things that contribute. I have tried a lot of sleep-type products, but St Johns Wort actually gives results. I take 1-2 tablets before going to bed, and I get good quality sleep. SJW acts as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), which means that it blocks the body's breakdown of serotonin so that the serotonin can be used where needed. Serotonin allows you to sleep better, as it's an important brain chemical. There are, of course, pharmaceutical versions of SSRIs that you can take for this condition, but I would much rather take a natural version like SJW and avoid the liver damage that comes with all pharmaceuticals.
