ST. JOHN’S WORT, AF

How St. John’s Wort Extract Works & Core Benefits

St. John’s Wort extract has a multi-mechanism pharmacological profile:

• Neurotransmitter Regulation – The extract can inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, helping to balance mood and support emotional wellness.
• Stress & HPA-Axis Modulation – Some research suggests it influences genetic regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, supporting resilience to stress.
• Mood-Elevating Effects – Clinical trials indicate that St. John’s Wort extract may be as effective as certain prescription antidepressants for mild to moderate depression, often with fewer withdrawal issues.
• Menopausal & Somatic Symptom Support – There is some preliminary evidence for benefits in menopausal mood symptoms and somatic symptom disorder (intense physical symptoms associated with anxiety).
• Skin Healing & Topical Uses – Traditionally, St. John’s Wort has been applied to wounds, bruises, and skin irritations — leveraging its anti-inflammatory and soothing flavonoid content.
