Hypericum perforatum, more commonly known as St. John’s Wort, is classically known for its ability to improve mood and for its positive effect on neurological function, particularly for managing neuropathic pain. The active ingredients responsible for these effects are hypericin and hyperforin, which have been shown to have positive effects on serotonin, dopamine and various catecholamines.
Dozens of trials have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of this herbal extract against both placebo and pharmaceutical antidepressants, in many cases finding comparable outcomes to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants. The evidence-base dosage for these positive effects appears to be 900mg per day. That being said, the constituent content of Hypericum perforatum differs quite drastically between manufacturers and the efficacy cannot be extrapolated from one extract to another unless active ingredient concentrations are considered.
St. John’s Wort contains 450mg of Hypericum perforatum per vegetable capsule, standardized to contain a minimum of 0.3% hypericin content for therapeutic outcomes. St. John’s Wort is also guaranteed to be low in cadmium, a heavy metal of concern in certain wildcrafted hypericum species. Each bottle of St. John’s Wort contains 90 vegetable capsules.
