I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress and what feels like "hwa-byung" (a Korean term for suppressed anger or stress). Around the time of my PMS, I struggle to control my anger, so I started looking for supplements that might help.I initially tried a different brand, but it gave me side effects like hand tremors, dizziness, and headaches. Fortunately, I didn’t experience those symptoms with this product.It’s been about three weeks now. I take it twice a day once in the morning and once in the afternoon, before I feel any anger rising. I can’t tell for sure yet if it’s working, but maybe it's just psychological I do feel a bit calmer after taking it. I plan to continue using it a bit longer to see if it makes a real difference.

Good price & good product.

I've been fighting depression for years; took a number of prescription anti-depressants, tolerated the side effects. Finally, I completely changed my life, moved west, found happiness. Got married, progressed in my career, got my son... everything I wanted. Yay! So why, after 6 years, do I begin to feel down again? Panic attacks at work, can't get up in the morning, life's little joys lack luster... (I can answer that, actually, it's that aforementioned career...). I start considering the medications again, but... I don't want them. I remember how awful they used to make me feel. I remember the dry mouth, the missing libido, the head in the clouds. I don't want it!So I do a bit of research, and find three contenders: St John's Wort, Passionflower, and Schizandra. All are said to combat anxiety and depression. Decided to try the St John's Wort first, since it appears to focus more on depression (the other two appear to be more for anxiety), it's natural (break the capsule and make tea!), and it's been used for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Here is my experience:St John's Wort is not an upper, it's doesn't sedate. It brings *balance* without the awful side effects that the prescription pills give you. I can still FEEL, which is super important to me. I can still feel sad, anxious, worried. But I am more often happy, excited, calm, and positive. I don't cry at toilet paper commercials, and I can speak with other people at work without panicking. I can fall asleep at night. I can get out of bed in the morning feeling rested. I can handle ... life... again. It's all about that balance. I'm so thankful for this product.Other folks have asked if it continues working over a longer period of time. I questioned that as well at at first. The difference in mood when I first start taking it was NOTICEABLE. I felt much happier. I felt GOOD. After a month or so, the comparison is not so fresh, not so noticeable. And I wondered. I stopped taking it, lessening the dosage over a week. Felt the downward spiral. Had trouble sleeping. I tried the Passionflower extract, and found it gave me insomnia. Not for me. Dealt with misery for a week to clear THAT out of my system, and started taking St John's Wort again. And the balance returned. Let me tell you, if I miss one dose, it's apparent. I can feel my mood falling. It's a slow fall, but if I let it go, hello tears at Harry Potter book reviews.So yes, it still works after a longer period of time.In summary, I am a believer in St John's Wort and love the lack of side effects. Who knew that herbs that have been used for thousands of years could be so beneficial in today's world? ;)

Definitely these works!!!, I didn't know was going on with me, my mood was crazy because of the monopause symptoms, a friend recommended me this product, and changed my life.

Not a fan of this brand. Tastes bad. I prefer the Swanson brand.
