  • Description

    St. John's Wort Extract, derived from the plant Hypericum perforatum, primarily exerts its effects through multiple biochemical pathways. The main constituents, hypericin and hyperforin, are believed to contribute to its mechanism of action. Hypericin has been found to act as a reuptake inhibitor for certain neurotransmitters in the brain, primarily serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, increasing their availability in the synaptic cleft and enhancing neurotransmission. This action may contribute to its antidepressant effects. Additionally, St. John's Wort Extract may interact with various receptors, including adenosine, GABA, and glutamate receptors, which can influence mood and emotional responses. Hyperforin, another active component, is thought to modulate the activity of ion channels and may possess anti-inflammatory properties. This extract also exhibits antioxidant properties, potentially protecting cells from oxidative stress. By interacting with these diverse biological pathways, St. John's Wort Extract may contribute to its therapeutic effects, particularly in the treatment of mild to moderate depression and mood disorders.
