Healtheries St John's Wort Plus 30 Tablets
Jase: Is this a simple St John’s wort product?
Kimmi: No. The panel also lists ginkgo, magnesium, glutamine and tyrosine.
Jase: The old copy says 1800mg and calls it a capsule.
Kimmi: The title says tablets, the panel says 2000mg equivalent St John’s wort, and the directions say capsule. The panel also lists magnesium as 120mcg, which is an unusual unit. Verify the current pack before taking it.
This product is not intended to treat depression, anxiety, sleep problems, nerve pain, infections, wounds or memory conditions.
Contains no: Wheat, gluten, lactose, yeast, colour, flavour or preservatives.

Directions
Do not use until the current package has been checked. The supplied page conflicts on tablet versus capsule and on the St John’s wort amount. It states 1 capsule three times daily for adults and teenagers, while the product is titled as tablets.
