Blackmores Hyperiforte St John’s Wort 1800mg 90 Tablets

Blackmores Hyperiforte provides effective relief from nervous tension and mild anxiety. Hyperiforte is formulated to replicate the exact dosage used in clinical trials. It is a natural non-habit forming alternative to drug therapy.

Numerous clinical trials have shown that hypericum is comparable in efficacy to prescription drugs, but with fewer side-effects. It is indicated for the treatment of anxiety, nervous tension and menopause-related anxiety.
Investigation continues to determine how hypericum works physiologically, and several mechanisms of action have been proposed. Although, no single constituent of the plant can be considered to be responsible for the therapeutic action of the herb, hypericin (an oil-soluble anthraquinone glycoside) is considered to be an integral part of its action. The clinical studies showing that hypericum is an effective treatment for anxiety and nervous tension used an extract of the leaves, stems and flowers standardised to contain 0.33% of hypericin.
