St John’s Wort Quality Story

St John’s Wort is comprised of a wide range of
phytochemicals of which the naphthodiantrones
(consisting mainly of hypericin and
psuedohypericin) are characteristic, while
several other constituents are found across a very
wide variety of plant species: eg chlorogenic acid,
flavonoids and biapigenins.
Studies have shown that hypericin administered with
flavonoid glycosides caused an increase in the bioavailability
St John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) of hypericin. St John’s Wort extracts containing the flavonoid
glycosides but devoid of hypericin and hyperforin have been
shown to be pharmacologically active in model systems.
Additionally, extracts devoid of hyperforin have been
proven effective in clinical trials as have extracts containing
hyperforin. In the graph, all extracts contained the same
level of napthodianthrones (hypericins), however a wide
range of variation was shown for the other constituents
when analyzed by HPLC – some extracts having very low
levels of all the phytochemicals you would expect in a good
®
quality extract of Hypericum perforatum. MediHerb
recognizes the importance of all the other constituents,
particularly the OPCs and flavonoids and tests all of its
products using the techniques which allow the identification
of these components.
