Hypericum perforatum, more commonly known as St. John's wort, is classically known for its ability to improve mood and for its positive effect on neurological function, particularly in the management of neuropathic pain. The active ingredients responsible for these effects are hypericin and hyperforin, which have been shown to have positive effects on serotonin, dopamine, and various catecholamines.

Dozens of trials have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of this herbal extract against placebo and pharmaceutical antidepressants, in many cases finding results comparable to those of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants. The evidence-based dosage for these positive effects appears to be 900 mg per day. That being said, the constituent content of Hypericum perforatum varies quite dramatically between manufacturers, and efficacy cannot be extrapolated from one extract to another unless the concentrations of active ingredients are taken into account.

St. John's Wort contains 450 mg of Hypericum perforatum per vegetarian capsule, standardized to contain a minimum of 0.3% hypericin for therapeutic results. St. John's Wort is also guaranteed low in cadmium, a heavy metal of concern in some wild Hypericum species. Each bottle of St. John's Wort contains 90 vegetarian capsules.
