Special Benefits

High Potency, Standardised Formula
Nutra-Life Hypericum 2000 Plus, contains a special extract of Hypericum (St John's Wort), standardised to provide 1.1mg (1100ug) of hypericin and 15mg of hyperforin per capsule.

The Formula also includes
Ginkgo biloba
This traditional Chinese herb has a direct effect on peripheral circulation, and is a powerful antioxidant. Its effect on peripheral circulation has been used sucessfully in the management of anxiety and tension headaches and to improve mental efficiency and memory, where problems are due to impaired circulation.

Tyrosine and Glutamine
These are important amino acids which manage moods. Although non-essential ibecause they are made in the body, they may be needed in higher amounts in cases of stress, anxiety and mild depression.

Magnesium
This important mineral helps improve mood, but is often poorly supplied from the diet.

Safety
Hypericum is an effective herbal remedy which is well-tolerated compared to some current treatments. Many antidepressant drugs have side effects including nausea, overstimulation and insomia, which may occur in up to a third of patients.

Antiviral, Antibacterial
Recent work suggests that Hypericum perforatum also has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Today much of the research directed at Hypericum in regard to its anti-viral properties has focussed on hypericin and pseudohypericin. Chemically, these compounds are anthroquinones and their effects are substantially increased by exposure to light. Their anti-viral effect is believed to relate to the production of oxygen free radicals within the cells, which damage the enveloping protective membrane of somne viruses. In this respect, hypericin appears to enhance the body's own enzyme-based anti-viral mechanisms.
