What is St. John's wort? The plant of midsummer
- St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) is a perennial native to Europe that flowers bright yellow around St. John's Day in June, which is where its name comes from.
- The flowering herb is used. Its characteristic constituents include the hypericins, alongside flavonoids and hyperforin, among others.
- In central and northern Europe, St. John's wort is one of the most traditional cultivated plants and is still used today as tea, oil macerates and extracts.
850 mg extract at a ratio of 14:1 - with declared hypericins
- Green Naturals St. John's Wort contains 850 mg of extract per daily dose, obtained at a ratio of 14:1 from the flowering herb.
- The hypericin content is clearly stated at 2.55 mg per daily dose - compared to products that only name the amount of powder or extract without declaring the lead compounds.
- The formulation is deliberately minimal: St. John's wort extract and a plant-based capsule shell of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, nothing else.
Filled in Germany and lab-tested in every batch
- Filling and quality assurance take place in Germany; every batch is independently tested for identity, purity and content.
