• Positive results are often noticed within two to eight weeks. Results vary from person to person.
• For therapeutic and occasional use only.
Considerations
• Traditionally extracted St John’s Wort Oil has an excellent safety profile, and no significant side effects have been reported.
• As St John’s Wort can cause drowsiness, avoid intake of alcoholic beverages, and take extra care when driving or engaging in activities requiring alertness. It may be better to take the larger part of the dose in the evening so as not to interfere with these activities.
• When exposing yourself to the sun for long periods of time wear sunscreen and a hat, and know your personal limit. Photosensitivity through taking St John’s Wort extracts has been reported only at many times above our recommended dosage.
• St John’s Wort Oil extract should not be used when pregnant or breast-feeding.
• People under medical supervision, or already taking a prescription antidepressant drug should check with a qualified health care practitioner before starting any new treatment, including St John’s Wort.
