NusaPure St. John's Wort 20:1 Extract, 300 mg Equivalent to 6,000mg 240 Veggie Capsules (Vegetarian, Non-GMO) Bioperine

I've suffered from mild depression for my entire life. When my wife died from suicide on 10/9/2017; I became so despondent, that no amount of therapy or support groups could take me out of my deep depressive state. Although I was prescribed anti-depressants; I was only able to maintain a very low level of existence. At times I would feel well enough to function, and at other times I would be so despondent, that I couldn't get out of bed. I knew, and continue to know that I'll never be able to comprehend why my wife did what she did. My own life was forever changed on that fateful day. We were going to grow old together, and be with each other forever. I'll never get over her loss, but at the same time; I knew that if I continued on the course I was taking, I might end up like her. That's when I started researching herbal mental health supplements. Since I was already taking anti-depressants; I wanted to make sure that the ones I were taking, wouldn't have an interaction with whatever I bought. I also knew that I didn't want to go back to my doctor, as he kept prescribing additional medications that made me feel worse. After extensive research, and knowing that St. John's Wort can't be taken with many other anti-depressants or other medications; I discovered that it was okay for me to try it out. I wasn't taking anything that would interfere with it, and cause a possible, but rare condition called Serotonin Syndrome. Approximately 5 weeks ago, I started taking 2 of these capsules a day. I take one in the morning, and one at night. At first, I noticed nothing. Then, after the first few weeks, my depression started to improve. Now, going into my sixth week; I've noticed a miraculous improvement. While I'm certainly not cured; I can honestly say that I'm at peace with myself. I no longer feel hopeless, and am actually looking forward to the future. I believe that this product has saved my life. It won't bring back my wife, but at least it will allow me to go on, and look forward to a better future

Better than expected. I waited to write the review until I really tested them out. Easy to swallow. Better sleep. Easy to swallow. More relaxed. Better than the drug store brand. Perfect addition to my collection of less stress pills. I ordered 2 more after I fell in love to make sure I always have available to sleep. Improved mood. Better than gnc. Great value for the money. Would order again. Fast shipping and they work amazing. Thank you.

Love this brand!! Felt the difference right away!

UPDATED: Weeks later, and after reading the label more carefully, I discovered that the difference between the older and newer versions of this product is a matter of the processing of the plant. I'm satisfied it's fine and it is as labeled. -------------- INITIAL REVIEW: I cannot rate them for "easy to swallow," "flavor," or "value for money" because it would not be wise for me to ingest them. The label says they are St. Johns Wort, which for many years have been large-sized, medium brown capsules. The product in this bottle is smaller in size and a powdery white color, exactly like the Valerian capsules I also purchased from NusaPure (holding them side by side I cannot tell them apart). I have sent an email to NusaPure, hoping I receive a reply as to how this can be corrected.

Exactly as described, arrived on time. Would buy again

Excellent product. It took about 3 weeks to feel the mood altering effects (as is typical of St.Johns Wort). Once the effects manifested, there was a very significant improvement in my mood regarding depressivemess and anxiety. I was also coming off of a Medical Doctor prescribed anit-depressant. And this product helped my transition from off of that medication, in a very smooth and very controlled manner. This is a very highly recommended product. And for the price, it really is the most cost efficient choice in the market today.

I actually bought these when trying to get to the root of my sleep issues since I wasn't sure if it was emotional or physical reasons. If you're in an environment where you can normally handle the stress but sometimes it gets to be too much, these are effective for short-term use (a week or two, maybe a month max). They have a distinct smell to them so they can be difficult to swallow, but they get the job done. Everything else is my own personal experiences using this bottle three times for short periods (2-3 weeks). I took it with breakfast before work, as well as a handful of times on an empty stomach. First time using them was for sleep reasons, second two were for handling stress when everything was falling apart all at once and I just needed a pick-me-up to get through the day. This supplement caused me to have much more vivid but also much more negative dreams than usual. When taking it, it seemed to suppress ALL emotions for me, but feeling like a robot makes it easier to get through the day when there's a lot going wrong. Do not skip doses if using these for short-term stress. I accidentally missed a dose one day and the end result was having an emotional whiplash sort of hit me in the middle of the day. Keep in mind you'll probably experience that when you stop taking them, so you probably want to plan when you stop and you probably want to ween yourself off of it if taking the full dosage. Don't skip meals while taking these as the "emotionally numbing" effects become a LOT stronger if you take them on an empty stomach, but keep in mind that at least in my case it severely suppressed my appetite. Usually I have a bit of a head fog by the third or fourth day taking them that goes away by the 6th/7th day. Accidentally ate grapefruit once or twice while taking them but it only caused a mild upset stomach. I don't know about sunlight/photosensitivity, I get 1-4 hours of sunlight every day due to my hobbies (hiking, weightlifting, etc.) and I didn't notice any difference on that end, but that was just my experience. I stopped taking them after 2-3 weeks because they caused me to feel weird after the 2 week mark and seemed to be less effective anyways by that point. Like I said above, they're great if you DO NOT need medications and just need something to get through short bouts of extreme stress, but if you have long-term/chronic sources of stress or underlying issues, you should probably seek professional help instead of relying on pills off the internet.

1dt of all I have no problem swallowing pills, that’s not an issue of mine. If you do please don’t let that stop you from enjoying the benefits of this very great natural mood elevator. Just try taking 1 cap at a time. Caps seem easier to swallow than tablets - they have no smoothness anywhere. Also, if this is a new supplement for you (after checking with your medical provider) I would suggest taking one on the morning and the second one late afternoon. It’s naturally derived and can really make your day management a breeze. Small problems that used to url you during the day seem to slide right off your back. Improves your sense of humor and feeling of joy in general. Of course I’m not giving you a guarantee this will happen for you right away. Everyone’s body processes and reacts to supplements differently. I Also, want to mention that the price is MORE than reasonable especially when you consider the number of milligrams you receive per dose. I used to buy St John’s Wort supplement that was only 300 mgs/ 30caps and only lasted me 10 days taken according to their label so that makes the cost of these 3 times LESS expensive or 30% less money and more convenient because you aren’t worried about running low and having to run an errand. These days who really wants an additional errand yo run around & make time for to accomplish?
