There are several compounds in SJW which inhibit monoamine oxidase to varying degrees. Was the study you refer to considering the whole plant extract?
Anyhow, I have only heard that Green Tea inhibits MAO-B. Do you know of any studies suggesting it inhibits MAO-A as well.
Green tea is intersting. There is a 5 fold dopamine boost with green tea. It inhibits MAO-B, COMT and DAT activities. In addition, theanine displays some NMDA antagonist activity. Caffeine also causes dopamine release.
Just DON'T combine green tea with methylphenidate. I'll never make that mistake twice.
