Herb Pharm St. John's Wort Liquid Extract for Positive Mood and Emotional Balance, Cane Alcohol, 1 Ounce

It's a big bottle so I take maybe not even 1/5-1/4 of a dropper because the standard dosage is about 300 (whatever the sizing metric is.. i forget just now) and I think the serving size is 600 or so so I halve that, and people should keep in mind it's a bigger dropper than the usual which is usually about half of that length. So probably a lot of people getting this size bottle are taking a mega mega dose of this herb!I'm extremely sensitive to pharmaceutical medicine.. If there are any side effects I'll experience every rare one of them! So this is a game changer. If I feel remotely sad, or very sad... I'll take a bit of this just right on my tongue, swallow with some water, and I feel perfectly fine within what seems like 5 or 10 minutes. Maybe my tongue absorbs a bit since I put it right on there (without touching.. don't want the bacteria). No side effects that I have ever experienced, though I know there are a lot of contraindications, maybe for things like birth control, alcohol, lots of common things so everyone should check. but in Germany I think this is prescribed in lieu of antidepressants, and they certainly drink and I wonder about what other medicines they might take with this with less concern about caution. Maybe it's a matter of just taking a very small amount and that's not so dangerous, but be aware of that at least, talk to your doctor all that jazz.I keep it in the refrigerator so it will last longer, and I assume it shouldn't be put under the light either.This stuff is powerful; I don't really notice herbs.. I'll take something and then forget I took it and won't really know if it served its purpose but this is phenomenal because I'll forget that I took it but then a bit later I'll think gosh, earlier I felt really bad... Oh yeah That St John's wort must have really worked! Now that's happened a few hundred times at this rate since I have taken this for years. The bottle lasts a very long time though so actually one bottle lasted me several years since I didn't use it much the first few and kept it in the fridge. but it's a good deal compared to the small bottle, so I prefer just having it on hand for long-term use.

Once in a while a product comes along that really works. It definitely enhances mood on a bad day. It’s very subtle, but it seems to even out the brain chemistry.

Ok

One eye dropper in a small glass of water two or three times a day with almost immediate absorption is something I prefer to the three times a day capsules I have been taking for years. The taste isn’t that bad either.

I struggle with depression and this product helps me with mood and energy levels. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because the recommended dose does not work for me. I am 5’5 and weigh 124 lbs. when I take a full droplet, I do not feel a difference in mood /energy. Two full droplets, I feel better than most days but not by a lot. When I take three, I feel like a normal human being. I do not know what taking this dosage does to my physical health in terms of organ functionality and I am not making that recommendation. I’m willing to risk it because depression is a bxxch!! and I figure whatever chemicals in antidepressants have to be way worse than over dose of a natural product. The taste is pretty gross but again, the benefits of functioning like a normal human opposed to being in a catatonic state of depression outweighs the awful taste. If you drop it in a glass of water mixed with Emergency-C the taste becomes tolerable. I usually chug it and taste does not linger. If I run out, within a week of not taking it, I immediately see a decline in mood and energy. I hope this review helps anyone who may be going through similar struggles with depression. Hang in there and I hope you find something that works for you.

I have used this particular product for more than 8 years. I used a tablet form first and another brand of the tinctured form. Herb Pharms St. John's Wort has proven superior over anything I have taken in the past. And works its magic as proven when I forget it on long trips or just for a week or two at home because I haven't pulled the next one out of the closet ( I always keep one or two stocked ). The product has helped to tremendously. It is not a one and done, must be taken daily and I don't ever want to live without it. ( suggest a splash or OJ or other juice to camouflage the taste).

I feel no different!

this help me
