insights Analysis
Nutricost offers a high 1000mg dosage of whole herb St. John's Wort per serving, which is a robust amount. While a higher dose *could* lead to stronger effects, the absence of explicit standardization to active compounds like hypericin means there's no guarantee of consistent potency from batch to batch, a key concern for nutritionists. Compared to other whole herb products, its price per serving ($0.19) is on the higher side. The relatively low review count compared to competitors suggests it has a smaller market presence or less widespread appeal.
- High dosage per serving
- Not a standardized extract
- Higher price per serving compared to similar whole herb products
- Relatively low review count
- 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.

Categories
While providing a high dosage of whole herb St. John's Wort, it lacks the standardization to active compounds that is often recommended for consistent efficacy. Its price per serving is also higher than other unstandardized options.
Goals
The high 1000mg whole herb dosage is promising for mood support, but the lack of standardization for hypericin means the actual active compound content may vary, impacting consistent efficacy.
While a larger dose, the unstandardized nature makes it difficult to ascertain predictable effects for stress relief compared to products with guaranteed levels of active components.
As with other St. John's Wort products, its role in sleep is secondary. The unstandardized high dose might indirectly aid sleep if it effectively addresses mood or stress, but it's not a primary sleep aid.
