Schwabe KarmaMood Maximum Strength - St John's Wort Extract 425mg - Traditional Herbal Medicinal Product - 60 Tablets

Mild mood lifting St Johns Wort. None of the cotton wool effect of antidepressants and with one a day, they work for me. Contra-indicated for some other medications. Always check before ordering/taking.

Best St Johns Wort I have tried

Don't expect these to bliss you out or whatever, but if you're feeling a bit off / low then it'll fix it. If you have proper depression go and see your GP. Worth getting these if you get a bit miserable now and again, worked for me! Maybe took a few days to work but I stopped feeling so.. rubbish I suppose. Back to normal. No more than normal, but certainly no less.

I only buy these from October through to March/April when the wintry days/nights are upon us. Sometimes i may feel the need for a boost if I have been feeling exceptionally low, but only for the 30 days. I think i wrote a review for these a few years back and it does take a good few days/week for me to feel the effects. Theyre subtle, not a massive difference in mood, but enough to feel the effects. Obviously theyre not for everyone so my advice is try them for 30 days first. If they don't work then you won't feel like you've wasted your money. I'm glad they do the 60 day packs and I have recommended them to my boss who dove in with the 60 pack. I will check in with her to see if she is getting any relief from them as she suffers badly with SAD.

Gave up sertraline (50mg) and gave these a go a month or so later for safety. Work well as a mood stabiliser for me. Not as strong as chemical alternatives so I take more. 2 tablets in the morning and a further 2 in the later afternoon. Keeps me good.

If you buy into the whole SAD thing and its grey, gloomy or an average day in the UK (apart from the 5 or 6 days that count as summer) these are a great little pick me up. Take them for a week or so and all of a gradually its not such a chore to get up and moving in the morning. Especially if you haven't made it to the gym or taken the dogs out for a while due to being stuck in the office AGAIN. Other makes are available but they arent sold over the counter in tescos etc any more (that I can find). You cant find a million articles on the net that sing the praises of St Johns wort and just as many that dismis the whole concept. Me? when everything seems as grey as the view outside my bedroom taking these for a while seems to sort me out. Might be a placebo but in my tiny little head they are a much cheaper alternative to clearing off to Barbados every month

I've been on these a week and not noticed a positive effect on my anxiety or overall mood. In fact, my anxiety has gotten worse and I found I was worrying about small things too. The thing it has helped with is sleep. Deep sleep and vivid dreams. I'm disappointed as this is supposed to be the greatest natural remedy for low mood (not this brand but product in general)

Bought to help bridge low ebbs, very helpful.
