Analysis

The formula centers entirely on St. John’s wort and supplies a substantial stated herb amount. Liquid-filled capsules may appeal to users who dislike tincture taste.

No hypericin or hyperforin standardization is provided, and the supplied data does not identify the plant part or extraction concentration. Three capsules are needed for a full serving.

People seeking a simple botanical format may appreciate the focused design. Anyone comparing established extract doses should choose a product with named marker standardization.

Who is it for
  • Adults seeking a liquid-filled St. John’s wort capsule
  • People who take no interacting medicines
  • Users comfortable with three capsules per serving
Best for
  • Focused St. John’s wort intake
  • Pill-based alternative to tinctures
  • Simple single-herb use

Pros

  • Focused single-botanical formula
  • Clearly states total herb amount
  • Liquid-filled capsule format

Cons

  • No active-marker standardization
  • Plant part and extract ratio are missing
  • Requires three capsules per serving

Warnings

  • St. John’s wort can sharply reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, warfarin, transplant medicines, HIV medicines, and many other drugs by speeding their clearance.
  • Combining St. John’s wort with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAO inhibitors, triptans, tramadol, or dextromethorphan can cause dangerous serotonin excess.
  • St. John’s wort can increase sensitivity to sunlight, so strong sun or UV exposure may require extra skin and eye protection.

Nutrient quality

77 High impact

A substantial daily herb amount fits focused mood support. Missing extract, plant-part, and active-marker details reduce consistency, while the high amount warrants care.

.

Ingredient transparency

73 High impact

The herb amount is clearly disclosed without a hidden blend. Extract strength, plant part, complete directions, and inactive ingredients are not supplied.

.

Customer satisfaction

66 High impact

The supplied average rating is strong. The rating base is modest and limits confidence in the average, but no detailed experience evidence was supplied.

.

Value for money

39 Lower impact

Serving economics are weak. Form or disclosure weaknesses do not justify the asking price well.

A Goal FitD Strength of SupportD CoverageA+ Formula Quality

Saint John’s wort directly targets low mood and has meaningful human evidence when a standardized extract is used. The large herb amount is clear, but the label gives no extract concentration, active marker, or plant-part detail.

The focused formula avoids unrelated actives, yet uncertain potency makes its practical strength hard to judge. Saint John’s wort can reduce the effects of oral contraceptives and anticoagulants, and combining it with serotonergic antidepressants can cause a serious interaction.

St. John's Wort · 1350 mg OverallScore16
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityF Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The label does not identify an extract, active marker, or plant part. The daily amount is above the preferred range but remains below the excessive-dose cutoff. The cost for an equivalent clinical daily amount is well above the target. Saint John’s wort can reduce the effect of oral contraceptives and anticoagulants, and combining it with serotonergic antidepressants may cause a serious interaction.
