Swanson St. John's Wort 375 mg

Product overview

Swanson St. John’s Wort is a food supplement containing St John’s wort, an herb also known by its botanical name Hypericum perforatum. The product comes in capsule form and contains 375 mg of St John’s wort per serving. It is available in packs of 60 or 120 capsules. For precise information on how a serving is defined, please refer to the product label.

This is a simple herbal option for anyone looking for a product with a clearly stated amount of a single main ingredient. Rather than a long blend of different plants, the focus here is on the aerial parts of St John’s wort. This makes the product information easy to review, while details about any excipients and capsule materials should be checked on the packaging.

The product is made by Swanson, an American brand with a broad range of food supplements. The product information identifies the brand and refers to Swanson’s website for more information about the company and its range. The available information does not provide further details about the product’s country of origin, manufacturing method or specific certifications, so these details should not be assumed.

Swanson St. John’s Wort may be an interesting choice for anyone who prefers a straightforward herbal product with a specified amount per serving and clear pack-size options. As with all food supplements, it is a good idea to read the label before use, especially if you take medicines, use other supplements or have questions about St John’s wort.

Active ingredients & science

The stated ingredient is St John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), specifically the aerial parts of the plant. The amount is stated as 375 mg per serving. The available information does not specify a standardised extract, concentration or which individual plant compounds have been analysed. It is therefore not possible to draw conclusions about the product’s content of specific compounds from the amount alone.

St John’s wort is a botanical ingredient, not a chemical form of a vitamin or mineral. The product information does not specify a particular extraction method or provide information about bioavailability. We therefore describe the contents factually and make no claims about effects. Anyone comparing herbal products may wish to check whether the label states the plant part, extract ratio or standardisation; these details are not included in the information available here.

Benefits & uses

The product’s main practical feature is its clear herbal profile: St John’s wort in capsules, with a stated amount of 375 mg per serving. It may suit people who want to keep their supplement routine simple and prefer to choose one ingredient at a time. Bear in mind that St John’s wort can affect medicines, so consult a doctor or pharmacist before starting if you take medication.

• For a simple routine: An option for anyone who would rather choose a supplement with one main ingredient than a product containing many different herbs.
• When comparing herbal products: The stated amount per serving makes labels easier to read and compare, although extract strength and standardisation are not specified here.
• If you prefer capsules: Capsules can be a practical format to keep at home or take with you, following the instructions on the packaging.
• When planning a supplement routine: The 60- and 120-capsule pack options offer different sizes to choose from. Check the dosage instructions to understand how long a pack will last.
• If you want to learn about a specific herb: The botanical name Hypericum perforatum and the information about the aerial parts provide a clear starting point for reviewing the product’s contents.
• For careful label reading: The product is suitable for consumers who want to check the dosage, warnings and excipients before adding a supplement to their daily routine.

St John’s wort is not an obvious choice for everyone. It can interact with many medicines, and the supplement should not be used as a substitute for prescribed treatment or professional advice. If you are considering using the product in a particular situation, it is wise to check with a healthcare professional first.

Use & dosage

The product information states 375 mg of St John’s wort per serving but does not provide complete dosage instructions, a recommended time of day or directions on whether to take it with or without food. Therefore, follow the dosage and use instructions on the packaging and do not exceed the stated amount. If the meaning of “per serving” needs clarification, check the label or contact the retailer before use.

There is also no information on which to base a recommendation for a particular time of day or for combining the product with other supplements. Do not add St John’s wort to a routine that includes medicines without first asking a doctor or pharmacist; interactions can be significant. If you already use other food supplements, it is also a good idea to review the full list with a healthcare professional, especially if you are undergoing treatment or have surgery planned.

Quality & manufacturing

Swanson is the brand behind the product, but the available product information does not describe the manufacturing facility, country of origin, quality standards, laboratory testing or certifications. We therefore do not attribute checks or properties to the product that are not explicitly stated. Anyone seeking more information about manufacturing and the company’s quality practices should consult Swanson’s own website and the label on the current packaging.

The available information indicates that the product contains St John’s wort from the aerial parts of the plant and that the amount is stated as 375 mg per serving. Details about the extraction method, standardisation, excipients, allergens and capsule materials are not included in the structured information. Check the packaging if you need to know these details, for example because of an allergy, dietary choice or other specific consideration.

Store the product according to the instructions on the label. Storage advice and shelf-life information are not specified in the information on which this presentation is based. Always follow the packaging instructions and check the best-before date before use.

Who is this product suitable for?

The product is intended for adults interested in a food supplement containing St John’s wort who want to review the contents and directions for use before choosing an herbal product. It may be of interest to anyone who prefers capsules and wants a product with one main ingredient rather than a blended herbal formula. The available information does not specify a particular target group or age recommendation, so always follow the product labelling.

St John’s wort can affect how certain medicines work. If you take prescription or over-the-counter medicines, use hormonal contraceptives or are being treated for a health condition, consult a doctor or pharmacist before use. This also applies if you plan to start or stop taking other supplements. Do not use the product as a substitute for medical treatment.

The information available here does not establish whether the product is suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children or adolescents. These groups should not use it without first seeking advice from a healthcare professional. The same applies to people with allergies or sensitivities: as complete information about excipients and capsule materials is not available here, check the full ingredient and allergen labelling on the packaging before use.
