Patient Information Leaflet
Hypericum perforatum, commonly known as St John’s Wort, is a perennial flowering plant with a herbaceous growth pattern and extensive rhizome systems. St John’s Wort has a long history of use for its antidepressant and mood-elevating properties, starting in Ancient Greece. These beneficial effects come from the phytochemicals Hyperforin and Hypericin. Dried leaves and flowers from different plants and harvests have been blended together in order to ensure a consistent alkaloid phytochemical content of 5,5% across all capsules and batches. This ensures that dosages can remain constant while ensuring the same beneficial effects.
There is clinical evidence that Hypericum perforatum and its extracts are effective in treating depression. There is also verifiable evidence that it may be effective in helping to control the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and mood swings.
