Lar,
One of the studies you cited said this:
>With the exception of the D(1)-dopamine receptor, the phloroglucinol derivative hyperforin was less active than other SJW constituents tested on all screened receptors.
So why would you then recommend Perika hyperforin extract when the real effect seems to come from a combination of the various substances in SJW? Wouldn't it make more sense to take a whole-plant extract rather than just hyperforin?
Thanks!
