St John's wort Extract Powder (0.3 % Hypericin)

Positive mood routine (AM): 300–600 mg with breakfast at the same time daily to support a steadier, more positive daytime outlook.

Everyday stress window (workdays): If your stress peaks midday, dose with lunch (not after ~4 pm) to support calm focus through the afternoon.

Cycle-aware protocol: For cyclical mood dips, hold a consistent 300–450 mg daily; if you track cycles, begin 10–14 days before the expected low-mood window and continue steadily.

Sleep-friendly timing: Take earlier in the day; if sleep feels “lighter,” move the dose earlier or reduce to the lower end while keeping timing identical for a week before re-titrating.

Sun & light awareness: Use capsules/opaque sticks, keep packs closed, and practise normal sun care; if you’ll be in strong sun, prefer the low end (300–450 mg) while you evaluate comfort.

Stacking rule: Do not combine with serotonergic actives. Neutral partners only (e.g., fibre, magnesium glycinate, omega-3). Leave ~90 minutes from medications as a routine practice.

Positive mood & outlook: Standardised 0.3% hypericins to support a steadier, more positive daytime mood when used consistently with a meal.

Everyday stress resilience: Helps maintain a composed, even keel during routine life and work stress without stimulants.

Calm focus for tasks: Supports settled attention and task engagement—useful for desk work and study blocks.

Sleep-wake rhythm support: Morning use helps keep evenings clear, supporting more settled nights as daytime mood steadies.

Cycle-related steadiness: A consistent daily routine can help smooth typical pre-cycle mood fluctuations (use the same dose through the month).

Habit-friendly: Once-daily, low-flavour format that fits real-life schedules and travel without complex prep.

Keep Away From Children

Q: How do I fit St John’s wort extract into a simple routine without changing my whole diet?

A: Keep the routine small and consistent. Place a single serving—typically 300–600 mg of the 0.3% extract—at the same mealtime every day, then hold everything else steady: balanced plate, unhurried eating, sleep and hydration. Because the herb is light-sensitive and has a distinct herbal note, capsules or blend sticks are the tidiest formats. Log adherence and comfort for two to four weeks before adjusting. As a general practice, leave ~90 minutes from medications and keep packaging closed and away from sunlight to preserve colour and profile.

Q: Capsules, sticks, teas or gummies—what’s most practical for day-to-day use?

A: Capsules are simplest for precise 0.3% hypericin dosing and keep flavour neutral. Sticks work well when pre-blended with compatible botanicals, especially if you already use a daily sachet. Teas can be pleasant but are less precise for standardised dosing, so if you use them, add the extract at warm—not boiling—temperatures and sip soon. Gummies are feasible at low inclusion levels, but use amber packaging and recheck taste and colour at 1–2 weeks. Whatever you choose, keep the daily total and timing identical during your evaluation window for a clean read on usefulness.

Q: What should I avoid stacking with St John’s wort?

A: Keep stacks simple and safety-led. Do not combine with serotonergic botanicals or actives. As a routine practice, leave ~90 minutes from medications and review suitability if you take prescription regimens (e.g., hormonal contraceptives or specialised therapies). Introduce just one neutral partner—like a fibre habit or a basic vitamin routine—after week one, and keep sleep, steps and hydration steady. This staggered approach preserves clarity about what actually helps and reduces the chance of interactions or sensory issues while you lock a durable daily habit.

Q: Any formulation tips to protect quality and taste?

A: Decide the per-serve target first, then handle the extract with light awareness: use opaque/amber packaging, avoid long high-heat steps, and add near the end of mixing. In blends, pre-disperse well to keep flavour uniform; in gummies, limit inclusion to 0.1%–0.3% and verify colour/taste at 1–2 weeks. Avoid clear beverages, which show colour and can expose the actives to light. Document pH, mix time and fill temperature so batches reproduce reliably and the consumer experience stays consistent from lot to lot.
