St. John's WortSt. John's Wort

    An important herb for the nervous system. Wort comes from an Old English word meaning "plant or root." In this case, the plant is named for St. John, also known as the Baptist. However, information about St. John's wort predates Christianity. It has long been popular for replenishing the nervous system, especially when the brain seems depleted or when the nervous system is out of balance.
    St. John's wort contains hypericin, a natural compound that has been shown in studies to help support the nervous system by minimizing the effects of minor depression. Each capsule provides 1 mg of hypericin.
    NSP combines St. John's wort with passion flower, an herb with a long history of supporting the nervous system. St. John's Wort contains the finest raw St. John's Wort herb with standardized levels of both hyperforin (3.0 percent) and hypericin (.03 percent) in a base of 300 mg St. John's Wort extract powder in each capsule.
    Take one capsule with food three times daily. Stock No. 655-3 100 capsules concentrate.
