Hypericum Holland And Barrett (Dry Extract Of St. John's Wort (5-7:1), Extraction Solvent: Ethanol 60% V/V)

The extract of St. John's Wort contains bioactive compounds such as hypericin and hyperforin. These substances inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine, increasing their levels in the brain, and also modulate GABA activity. The combined effect helps improve mood and reduce depressive symptoms.

The appropriate dose is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the individual’s condition, age, weight and other medications. Prescribers typically follow established dosing guidelines for St. John's Wort extracts, but the exact regimen should be confirmed with the treating clinician.

Safety data for St. John's Wort during pregnancy and lactation are limited, and the product is generally not recommended for use in these periods. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss alternative options with their healthcare provider.

Unlike synthetic antidepressants such as SSRIs, Hypericum Holland And Barrett is a plant‑derived product that influences several neurotransmitter pathways simultaneously. It may have a milder side‑effect profile for some users, but it also carries a higher risk of drug‑drug interactions, especially with serotonergic agents, and its efficacy can be more variable.

Store Hypericum Holland And Barrett at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and retain it in the original packaging until use to maintain product stability.

The product is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but consistent administration with respect to meals may help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Patients should follow the dosing instructions provided by their prescriber.

The most significant risks include the potential for serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic drugs, severe photosensitivity leading to sunburn, and the possibility of triggering manic or hypomanic episodes in individuals with bipolar tendencies. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these serious reactions occur.

Individuals taking SSRIs, MAO inhibitors, warfarin, oral contraceptives, or anticonvulsant medications should avoid or closely monitor use. It is also unsuitable for people with severe depression, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and patients with a history of photosensitivity or bipolar disorder without specialist guidance.
