LES Labs St. John's Wort Extract, Natural Supplement for Stress & Anxiety Relief, Positive Mood, 0.3% Hypericin, 500mg, 100 Capsules

Ok so, welcome to my first written review.....nice to have you! Here's the thing... I've been taking a St. John's Wort supplement for a little over 5 yrs now (courtesy of menopause :-) ). And during this time, I've really stayed loyal to 1 specific brand - not Les Labs. Though almost twice the price for the dosage amt vs Les and most other brands - it worked. And for me at least - I was more than happy to pay the $ for ANYTHING that kept my Hyde persona front & forward. Totally worth it, and frankly - I'd be the first to endorse the brand today. That said - there were 2 instances in the 5 yr span where I had to temporarily switch to another brand (due to manufacturing delay with usual supplement). The first time - about 3 years ago - did not go well. Let's just say Jekyll enjoyed some quality time for a while - and leave it at that. Then recently, I had to make the 2nd temp switch to another brand.....enter 'Les Labs'. I was understandably cautious this time around, bearing in mind the fiasco of my first switch.... Honestly, I was just praying that the 'dip' wouldn't be as dramatic as before. It wasn't. It was just the opposite..... I would say that - after the first week with Les Labs supplement - I could tell a subtle but distinct difference in my mood - for the better. And that improved variance has sustained itself every day since -- and at 1/2 the cost of my usual brand. Life is good.... Ms. Hyde is here to stay :-). jr

In Germany St John's Wort is prescribed more often than Prozac. I have found it to be a very effective mood stabilizer, for depression as well as anxiety, without the troubling side effects of the SSRIs. This lab is excellent and produces a top quality grade of St John's Wort.

I have been very pleased with the effects of this product and though some consumers would say that the continuous usage of St. John's Wort may be become habit forming, this product is a more natural alternative than using chemical based anti-depressants. I noticed the effects in one week though this may vary from person to person but, overall it is a great product.

After taking this supplement for a week or so I started to get nerve pain in my fingers and toes, it would become extremely painful with cold temperatures. It slowly grew worse and expanded up my legs and arms. Turns out this is what the label means by “may increase sensitivity to sunlight.” Which is a honestly a totally inadequate warning. It took two weeks of stopping taking the supplement for the pain to stop. So yeah, 1 stars is too many.

I've been suffering from mild depression over the past 6 months. I started taking this supplement 3x a day with good results. I started feeling so much better and my husband kept saying it was a plasebo effect, so I started backing off the st John's wort and eventually stopped taking it....and BAM I ended up even more depressed. It really worried me and I considered going to get on antidepressants but started taking this 3x a day again to see I would feel better. After a few days my depression was gone and I couldn't believe the difference.

I read some really great really good reviews and wanted to like this product but after taking it for two weeks straight I can't tell any difference whatsoever. Everyone's body is different maybe it was just me.

It’s hard to dose properly for self medicating depression but I did feel better after including this in my routine. I took 2 daily and noticed a change after a week or two. Talk to a doctor first but I highly recommend

Excellent Results! Relaxes me rt after a stressful day at wrk! This is the BEST St Johns'm Wort Ive ever taken! Will definitely stick to this brand in the future!
