> Kara,
> I think the actual brand name is NatureMade. Perika is the pharmaceutical byline, as in NatureMade Perika St. John's Wort. A good place to get it inexpensively is www.iherb.com. You can just type Perika in the search box. If Perika doesn't do it for you, try HBC Protocols, which I prefer. At any rate, good luck, give it at least 4 weeks to reach peak, although you may start to feel it right away, and play around with the dose. 900mg is standard but some go higher. I'm at 1200mg. And if you're bipolar-II and aren't on a mood stabilizer, the amino acid L-taurine has been getting good press. I use it along with lithium and think it's helping. BarbaraCat

>Thanks. I get almost all of my supplements from iHerb. They really are the best. I think I'll start with the NatureMade Perika because the HBC Protocols isn't as energizing (though the price is quite good). L-taurine is on my list of things to try as well. Take care,
