This video is NOT SPONSORED, and I have NO affiliate relationships with any brands mentioned. My goal is to offer you a free, unbiased informational resource to aid your understanding of supplements in the often complex and potentially misleading nutraceutical industry.

In this video, I discuss whether there is enough clinical evidence to support St Johns Wort’s effectiveness in the management of depression, anxiety, menopausal symptoms, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (OCD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Somatoform Disorder, and Premenstrual Syndrome/Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMS/PMDD). I also talk about adverse effects and drug interactions, some of which can be life-threatening. Additionally, I’ll discuss what to look for when researching St John’s Wort brands, and I’ll provide you with a list of several high quality brands that have passed safety and quality testing. Finally, I’ll discuss my own recent experience with St John’s Wort and also discuss the brand that I personally use.
