St. John's Wort is a gentle and effective herb that causes fewer side effects than conventional anti- depressant medications.

This formula also contains Jamieson's exclusive botanical complex of ginkgo biloba, lemon balm and rosemary that enhance the effectiveness of St. John's Wort. Extracts of St. John's Wort and Ginkgo Biloba help combat depression by increasing blood flow to the brain. Rosemary helps relieve indigestion brought on by stress and anxiety, as does Lemon Balm.

Jamieson's St. John's Wort is standardized to contain minimum 3% active hyperforin and standardized to 0.3% hypericin.
