Product Description
St. John's Wort extract is a natural concentrate obtained through modern techniques (e.g., ethanol extraction, supercritical CO₂) from Hypericum perforatum, primarily valued for mood regulation and neuroprotection:
Antidepressant: Inhibits serotonin/dopamine/norepinephrine reuptake (SSRI-like mechanism).
Antiviral: Active against enveloped viruses (e.g., HSV-1, influenza).
Anti-inflammatory & Wound Healing: Reduces neuroinflammation and promotes tissue repair.
Antioxidant: Scavenges free radicals, protects cell membranes.
Note: Contraindicated with certain medications (e.g., anticoagulants, oral contraceptives).
