St. John's Wort: composition of the plant

Studied constituents

St. John's Wort is one of the most studied plants in herbal medicine. Research focuses in particular on hyperforin, which interacts with the reuptake of several neurotransmitters at the synaptic level, and on flavonoids (hyperoside, quercetin). These mechanisms are the subject of ongoing research. No health claims are currently authorized for St. John's Wort as a dietary supplement.

Beware of drug interactions

St. John's Wort is a powerful inducer of cytochrome P450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein, which can significantly reduce the efficacy of many medications: oral contraceptives, anticoagulants (warfarin), antiretrovirals, cyclosporine, digoxin, certain antidepressants, anticancer drugs, and others. This interaction is the most important to be aware of before any use. It is imperative to consult a doctor if you are currently taking any medication.
