Having struggled with depression on and off my entire adult life, I notice that a regular intake of St John's Wort actually helps to curb the symptoms of depression and is a good treatment for my overall wellness. When I stop taking it for periods of time, I notice more discord and depressive thinking. I bounce between brands, and this supplement certainly works - it has no intolerable odor or flavor, the gel caps are easy to swallow and digest, and the blend contains both an extract and the raw plant itself. I would buy it again, as it works for me and I haven't noticed any adverse side effects.
