Thompson's - One-A-Day - St John's Wort - 400mg



This is a herbal remedy for depression which acts like an antidepressant (so not to be taken with prescribed antidepressants).
It causes an increase in serotonin in the old think tank.

I like this for when I'm not on prescription antidepressants but need something just for a day or two to help me feel better.

They are medium sized, dark brown tablets that have no taste and are easy to take.

They work really well for me and I can feel my mood lift after taking them.
If I take them the night before I feel good the next day.

It takes about two weeks to be out of your system once you stop taking it.
~10% left after one week and ~1% left after two weeks.
I really like that I don't get withdrawal symptoms when I stop them.

These are a temporary fix, if you need a long term solution then talk to your doctor.

Don't use this if TTC (trying to conceive), pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Something interesting I read about it is that it can make it hard for a sperm to enter an egg, so definitely not a TTC friendly herb.
It can also negatively affect sperm quality.

Price: 2/5 ($38.95 for 60 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (tasteless)
Effectiveness: 5/5
