An organic, high-dose whole herb St. John's Wort from a reputable brand, offering quality assurance, but at a premium price and lacking standardization.
Solaray is a well-regarded brand known for its quality. This product specifies 'organic St. John's Wort' at 900mg per serving (assuming the ingredient quantity is correct and the 450mg in the name is a misprint or relates to a different metric like extract ratio, given the product's listed ingredients are 900mg, which is a common effective dose for whole herb). The organic certification adds a layer of quality assurance, which is a positive from a consumer and nutritionist perspective regarding purity. However, like many whole herb products, it does not explicitly state standardization to hypericin. Its price per serving ($0.35) is quite high, making it one of the more premium-priced options without the benefit of guaranteed active compound levels.
- Organic certification
- Reputable brand
- Good high dosage (900mg) for a whole herb product
- High price per serving
- Not a standardized extract
- St. John's Wort can interact with numerous medications, including antidepressants, birth control, and blood thinners. Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if on other medications.
- Photosensitivity may occur.
