Product analysis
St. John's Wort is aimed at mood support, but its unspecified extract makes the likely benefit difficult to judge. It can weaken medicines including oral contraceptives and anticoagulants, so medication interactions materially affect its suitability.
AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works
Nutrient Quality20
The herbal preparation is unspecified, leaving its quality uncertain. A named extract with defined contents would be easier to compare with other options.
Ingredient Transparency63
The amount of St. John’s wort is given, but the preparation is not identified. The amount alone does not show whether it matches a well-defined extract.
Value For Money40
Value cannot be judged confidently from the available price and ingredient information. The declared amount alone does not settle whether the supplement is a worthwhile buy.
Customer Satisfaction73
Customer ratings are generally positive across hundreds of ratings. The feedback describes satisfaction without establishing effectiveness or safety.
Product Focus47
The single-herb formula has a clear mood-support purpose. Everyday mood benefits remain uncertain for this preparation, and its medication interactions are a major suitability consideration.

Goals
Impact
Moderate effect
Whether this St. John's wort extract improves everyday mood in otherwise healthy adults is unclear. Benefits associated with defined extracts in diagnosed depression don't transfer automatically to this unspecified preparation. St. John's wort can also weaken oral contraceptives, anticoagulants and many other medicines, so medication interactions materially affect its suitability.
