I tried SJW, but did not have any noticeable effects. You might want to get on PubMed
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi
and look what some of the research suggests. The last time I looked, there were a few compounds which had high levels of hyperforin, which, according to those articles, is the more active ingredient. Hypericin had been thought to be the more important ingredient. If you try SJW, be sure to advise your physician, as well as avoid too much exposure to the sun.
Good Luck.
