How Much St John'S Wort To Take A Day?

[pete66]

I just bought some Blackmore "hyperiforte" (= St John's Wort)to see if it will help my with general "mood", but totally confused how many to take.

I have read suggestions like this on the Net: "900 mg per day (given in 300 mg tablets, three times a day)", or "The suggested dosage for St. Johns Wort is 200 to 1000 mg. of 0.3% standardized hypericin content per day."

But I don't know how to translate this to the stuff I bought. On the bottle it says one tablet contains 1800 mg, standardized to contain hypercin deriviatives calculated as hypercin 0.99 mg). So I supposed the first thing to work out is the % of standardized hypericin in the stuff I bought. Are they say it is just 0.99mg out of 1800 mg?

Anyway, totally confused, so won't waffle on, but if anyone has this worked out, please let me know

thanks,

pete

Nobody else taking St John's wort tabs?

no - and we're fine! amazing really... hence the correct amount to take is between none and as much spare money as you need to pointlessly dispose of
