Analysis
This product from Oregon's Wild Harvest offers a liquid St. John's Wort, with 1000mg of fresh organic St. John's Wort per serving. The liquid form can be advantageous for individuals who have difficulty swallowing pills or prefer mixing their supplements into drinks. The 'fresh organic' designation might appeal to consumers looking for specific sourcing practices.
The 1000mg dosage provides a substantial amount of the herb. However, it does not specify standardization for hypericin or other active ingredients. This means that while a large quantity of the herb is present, the precise concentration of its key active components might vary, which can be a consideration for targeted mood and stress benefits.
With a price per serving of $0.45, it is in the higher range for St. John's Wort products. This cost likely reflects the organic sourcing and liquid extract format. It provides a good number of servings for consistent use.
