Buy St. John's Wort – Extracts from Hypericum perforatum

St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a herb with a rich tradition from the St John's wort family (Hypericaceae). Characteristic are the small, translucently dotted leaves and the bright yellow flowers that give the herb its name. Among its botanically best-known constituents are hypericin and hyperforin. In this category, you'll find St. John's Wort preparations from Scheunengut – as standardised extracts and in thoughtfully designed combinations, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

The flowering herb is used, harvested around the summer solstice and then dried. Concentrated extracts are obtained from the dried plant material, often as a 10:1 extract. This allows a defined content of the plant's own constituents to be captured in compact form.

Standardisation & Format

What matters is the standardised content of hypericin and hyperforin – high-quality extracts declare these values transparently. St. John's Wort is available above all as a capsule, less often as a powder or drops. It is frequently combined with botanical partners such as valerian and passionflower.

What to Look for When Buying
