Healtheries St John's Wort Plus is an advanced high potency formulation to help control mild anxiety, nervous tension and stress.
St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a medicinal plant that has been known in traditional medicine as anti-inflammatory and a healing agent in the treatment of burns and scalds. Today concentrated extracts derived from the flowering plant providing active constituents hyperforin and hypericin are used for their anti-depressant activity.
St John's Wort also has anti-viral activity that is currently undergoing medical research.
Rich in flavonoids, the chemical constituents found in St John's Wort include a proanthocyanidin mixture containing catechins and epicatechin derivatives, which show vascular activity as well as aglycone quercetin, and rutin; and hypericin pseudohypericin and hyperforin.
The content of these compounds in St John's Wort is strictly related to the harvesting period, drying process and storage. Healtheries St John's Wort Plus uses the highest quality, flowering tops of St John's Wort and is standardised to ensure each capsule contains 16.7mg of the active constituent hyperforin and 1.1mg of hypericin.
Helpful for: anxiety; depression (particularly long term low grade depression and mild to moderate depression); stress; problems associated with nervous disability (to strengthen nervous system); and neuralgia.

Adverse effects:
Photosensitivity: This is a state of sensitivity to sunlight following ingestion of large quantities of St John's Wort by animals. The disease affects the unpigmented portions of the skin of livestock, depresses the central nervous system and causes increased sensitivity to handling and temperature change. The usual therapeutic dose of St John's Wort extract is about 30 to 50 times below the dose needed to induce photoxicity in calves. Recent clinical trials using doses corresponding to 2.7mg of total hypericin per day showed no reports of photosensitivity.
Avoid in cases of liver damage.
