Description
Organic St. John’s Wort Extract 20x (Hypericum Perforatum) has a long history as a medicinal herb in Europe. The ancient Greeks and Romans noted that the herbal could used for such issues as gastrointestinal distress, depression or melancholy, superficial wounds, and menstrual cramping. In the middle-ages the flowers were hung above doorways as they were believed to ward off evil spirits. While native to Europe, the flowers are today found in many temperate climates around the world.
Particularly the flowers contains active substances, such as hypericin, hyperforin and other flavonoid compounds. Studies indicate hypericin found in organic st. john’s wort extract acts as an antiviral, antibiotic, antioxidant, and non-specific kinase inhibitor. The herbal has long been known for an antidepressant effect and today this is believed it could be due to the inhibition of reuptake of certain neurotransmitters.
It is not clear whether hypericin or hyperforin are more important for the antidepressant and anxiolytic properties in the extracts. In certain trials the herbal has been found to be superior to placebo in patients with depression and at times as effective as standard antidepressants, but with fewer side-effects than many medications.
