Analysis
Nature's Way offers a St. John's Wort supplement providing 700mg of the whole herb per capsule. This dosage is quite robust, making it suitable for individuals who prefer higher amounts of the unextracted plant material. The whole herb approach means it contains all the naturally occurring compounds found in St. John's Wort, not just isolated or concentrated constituents.
However, this product does not specify standardization for hypericin or other active compounds. For users looking for a consistent intake of specific active ingredients often associated with mood and stress benefits, this lack of standardization might be a drawback. The potency of whole herb products can naturally vary.
