FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q How long will it take before I notice results from this supplement?
A Results may be observed within the first day of taking St Johns Wort, or gradual positive effects may take up to six weeks. The effectiveness of hypericin, the main active constituent of St John’s Wort, builds over time. Therefore it is recommended to take St John’s Wort for at least two months in order to achieve the best results.
Q Why should I avoid St John’s Wort while taking oral contraceptives?
A St John’s Wort can cause breakthrough bleeding and impair the contraceptive usefulness of the medication.
Q How does St John’s Wort work?
A The mechanisms by which St John’s Wort is able to control the symptoms of depression and anxiety are still being researched. However, it is considered that it helps to inhibit the breakdown of the natural brain chemical serotonin. Healthy serotonin levels are essential for a calm happy and relaxed mood.
Q Why can’t I use my anti-depressant medication at the same time?
A Because many medications also conserve Serotonin and the combination of these medications with St John’s Wort, can cause high levels of this brain chemical and subsequently cause distressing symptoms.
Q Will St John’s Wort be as effective as my anti-depressant medication?
A Research has indicated that for mild to moderate depression St John’s Wort is as effective as standard anti-depressant medications and produces fewer side effects.
Q Will this formula make me feel sleepy during the day?
A St John’s Wort is a mood-enhancing herb, not a sedative herb, and will not cause sleepiness or fatigue during the day. The herb Ginkgo also assists in maintaining mental alertness and tension relief.
