St. John's Wort 900™

How it Works:

St. John’s Wort is a perennial plant that is native to Europe and Asia, but has become naturalized in North America after being introduced here in the 1690’s. It has been clinically studied for support of mental well-being and has shown great promise in numerous double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trials.*1-3

One of the plant’s key compounds is hypericin, which in clinical studies was typically standardized at 0.3% for the most benefit.*Hypericin is generally a more stable component of St. John’s Wort, and is easier to measure and standardize.* It is concentrated in the flowers and buds of the plant, and is responsible for the characteristic crimson pigments in the flowers and leaves.1

However, getting a beneficial level of St. John’s Wort – 900 mg per day -- can be a challenge when the dosage is divided. Therefore, it is best to use a convenient, once-daily form to support healthy mental well-being.* 

Other research points to St. John’s Wort – and hypericin specifically – having cellular health-supporting benefits as well.*4

St. John's Wort 900™

Q: Q. Why does this tablet have a coating?

A. The coating makes the tablet much easier to swallow and minimizes the odor of St. John’s Wort, which some people find unpleasant.

Q: Q. Can I take St. John’s Wort if I’m taking a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) or a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor (MAOI)?

A. We recommend that you always discuss adding any supplement to your regimen with your licensed healthcare practitioner.

St. John's Wort 900™

The word “wort” seem like an odd one, and has nothing to do with “warts.” Instead, “wort” is just an old English word for “plant”. The reason for the plant’s full name is because the flowers of St. John’s Wort typically bloom on (or about) the Saint’s day, June 24th.
