I noted that towards the bottom of my intitial posting, plus the best online price that I could find for the identical formulation as retailed in the US.
See:
In the U.S., an identical strength version of WS(R) 5570 is sold as a natural dietary supplement for promoting a positive mood, rather than a drug for the treatment of depression. This extract (WS(R) 5572) contains the same patented, standardized and stabilized hyperforin content as WS(R) 5570, and is marketed as "PERIKA" - St. John's Wort by Nature's Way Products, Inc., Springville, Utah. Perika(R) is available nationwide at health and nutrition retail outlets... WS(R) 5570 and WS(R) 5572 are patented extracts developed and produced by Dr. Willmar Schwabe Pharmaceuticals, Karlsruhe, Germany. They are uniquely standardized to hyperforin, the key constituent within St. John's Wort responsible for its mood balancing effect. The patent also ensures long-term stability of the hyperforin content.

If someone knows of better price - or a way to obtain wholesale, that would be great!Elroy
> So, how would you get the specific formulations used in the study. One of the links you provided indicated that these were special formulations and the results could not be extrapolated to regular SJW products on the shelves.
