About Nature’s Sunshine St. John’s Wort Concentrate

Nature’s Sunshine St. John’s Wort Concentrate offers a time-honored approach to supporting emotional wellness and maintaining a positive outlook. This carefully formulated supplement combines the power of standardized St. John’s Wort extract with the gentle support of passionflower, creating a synergistic blend that has been trusted for generations.

St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a flowering herb native to Europe that has been valued for over 2,000 years for its beneficial effects on mood and emotional balance. Named after St. John the Baptist, this bright yellow-flowered plant begins blooming around June 24th, the feast day of St. John the Baptist. The herb contains several naturally occurring compounds, including hypericin and hyperforin, which scientific research suggests may contribute to its mood-supporting properties.

The Science Behind St. John’s Wort

Each capsule of Nature’s Sunshine St. John’s Wort Concentrate delivers 300 mg of standardized extract, containing 0.3% hypericin. This standardization ensures you receive consistent levels of the herb’s key active compounds with every serving. Scientific studies have shown that hypericin may help support emotional balance by influencing neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate mood.

Research has also highlighted the importance of hyperforin, another naturally occurring compound in St. John’s Wort. Studies suggest that hyperforin may have mood-enhancing properties that work together with hypericin to support overall emotional well-being. The standardized extraction process preserves these important compounds while maintaining the herb’s natural integrity.

Enhanced with Passionflower Support

To complement the mood-supporting properties of St. John’s Wort, this formula includes passionflower aerial parts. Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) has its own long history of traditional use for supporting the nervous system and promoting a sense of calm. This herb contains naturally occurring compounds that may help support relaxation and emotional balance, making it an ideal companion to St. John’s Wort.

The combination of these two time-tested herbs creates a comprehensive approach to emotional wellness. While St. John’s Wort primarily supports mood balance, passionflower adds a gentle calming element that may help support overall nervous system health and promote feelings of tranquility.
