Planetary Herbals, St. John's Wort Liquid Extract, 2 oz

St. John's Wort Liquid Extract Full Spectrum
Supports Emotional Well-Being

St. John's wort has been used for thousands of years to promote mental well-being. Traditionally, herbalists knew that the proper time to harvest the unopened buds and flowers was around St. John's Day (June 24), when the plant is flowering. Modern research confirms that most of St. John's wort's valuable constituents are indeed highest when flowering. Planetary Formulas Full Spectrum St. John's Wort Liquid Extract is prepared from carefully harvested St. John's wort that is rich in the broad spectrum of St. John's wort constituents. This is evident from the dark, opaque, burgundy-red coloring of the extract.

Modern Research of St. John's Wort
St. John's wort, in use since the middle ages, is native to Europe but is now found throughout North America. Most modern research into the properties of St. John's wort has been conducted in Germany, where the use of this herb is widespread. In 1994, almost 66 million daily doses of standardized St. John's Wort extract were dispensed in Germany. Clinical interest in St. John's wort reached new heights in 1996, when the British Medical Journal published a summary of research findings, concluding that it had a beneficial effect on mental well-being.

The key constituents of St. John's wort include naphthodianthrones (hypericin and pseudohypericin), a broad spectrum of flavonoids, and phloroglucinols (especially hyperforin and adhyperforin).
