    It does work for some people. Please research any contradictions, one

    I do know of is that is can make birth control pills ineffective. It always bes tto let your doctor know about any herbs and vitamins you are taking.

    It is good for mild depression but if you are feeling really bad I would see a doctor. St. John's wort can decrease the effectiveness of a lot of meds so you have to be careful.

    Be careful,..large doses of it will make you sun sensitive and you could get severe sunburn. I know this from experience. I didnt notice any real positive effects.
