St. Johns Wort Info And Products
Popular Herb For The Mind And Body

1. What is it and where does it come from?

St. John's Wort (hypericum perforatum) is an herb that has been widely used for over 400 years.

Its name comes from two different characteristics of the plant in relation to John the Baptist. First, the flower of the plant blooms around June 24, which is St. John's day. Second, upon squeezing the buds of the flowers, a red pigmented liquid seems to ooze out, symbolic of the blood of St. John. "Wort" is derived from the Old English word that mean "root." The herb is grown all over the world, from California/Oregon and the Midwest in the U.S. to Australia, North Africa, West Asia, and Europe. St. John's Wort is a perennial with yellow flowers and many stems. Historically, it has been used to ward off evil sprits and give warriors in battle heightened will power when they wore the herb around their neck, among other uses. Supplements of high quality St. John's Wort are available from Bodybuilding.com.

3. Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency?

For athletes, bodybuilders, or anyone who wants to get more cut or make their body look better by psychologically losing the urge to overeat fatty foods, St. John's Wort is a good way to go.

4. How much should be taken? Are there any side effects?

A good amount of St. John's Wort to take is one to two mg containing 0.2 percentage hypericin three times per day. The only known side effects is phototoxicity, meaning those with fair skin should avoid tanning beds and heavy exposure to the sun while supplementing with St. John's Wort.
