Herb Pharm St. John's Wort Liquid Extract for Positive Mood and Emotional Balance, Cane Alcohol, 4 Ounce

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 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 used this during a long drive when I could feel my anxiety getting bad. It made me feel so relaxed and helped relieve my anxiety.

A dropper full of this St. John’s Wort in juice 2x a day for 3 weeks (I used cranberry juice to mask the bitter taste,) makes me feel brighter and more positive about life. Just like people have a “set point” for weight - some fatter, some thinner - I believe humans have a “set point” for happiness, and mine is set a little low. I’m not clinically depressed -I don’t have a feeling of hopelessness, or lack of ambition around activities that give me joy - but I do feel a blanket of small sadness that is felt in every aspect of life. This St. John’s Wort throws off that blanket so I can look at at the sunshine in my life. 🌞

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.

*Beware ladies this interacts with birth control so do not use if you are using BC.But if not, this is the best out there. Extracts are the only way to go with SJW or it’s not bioavailable. Herb Pharm is a highly reputable company as well.Additionally, scientific research has shown this to be a great alternative to SSRI’s for mild/moderate depression or SAD.I’m a fan :)

I feel no different!

I had neuropathy of the fingers - painful tingling - before I started using this product. If I forget for a few days, the tingling returns. I say it works!
