61 out of 100

St. John's Wort Extract 300 mg offers a standardized herbal option with preparation-specific mood evidence. It can substantially change the effects of medicines, which is a major consideration when deciding whether it is suitable.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality40

Hypericin standardization gives useful detail about the extract. It does not establish that the preparation is interchangeable with those behind particular mood findings.

Ingredient Transparency100

The extract amount and standardization are stated. That makes the serving easier to identify, though standardized extracts can still differ.

Value For Money40

Value for the St. John's wort extract cannot be judged confidently.

Customer Satisfaction86

Customer feedback is generally favorable across thousands of ratings. The substantial review base gives useful satisfaction context without proving mood benefits or safety.

Product Focus55

Mood-related evidence applies to particular preparations and clinical groups, rather than routine mood enhancement in healthy adults. The serving is below the trial comparison, and substantial medicine interactions remain relevant.
