St. John’s Wort Dosage For Depression
What is the highest recommended dosage of St. John's Wort?
I've been struggling with depression and anxiety for a while and no longer have insurance, so I have been trying St. John's Wort as an alternative for a couple months now with and haven't noticed a significant difference. I have been taking 300mg three times a day like it says on the bottle, and was considering upping the dosage, but need to know what the maximum recommended dosage is before trying out other supplements.
Thanks
The highest amount that doctors recommend is 0mg. St. John's Wort is completely ineffective and worse yet it causes the liver to metabolize real drugs more quickly, negating their effectiveness. For example, some types of birth control pills are negated by SJW.
