We know that there are times and moments in life, and that some can be darker than others. When anxiety and or worries fill the mind, we struggle to concentrate, we are hardly present, and sleep hours are drastically reduced, along with energy.

Every person is different, and we cannot know with what intensity each of us experiences emotions, whether positive or negative. 

But we know that there are resources in Nature that act on the central nervous system by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin (the feel-good hormone). One such resource is Hypericum, also known as St. John's Wort.

Curiosities

Hypericum is a plant with bright yellow flowering tops, widespread in most parts of the world.

Its name comes from the Greek hyper (above) and eikon (image), because in ancient times this plant was often seen growing around statues. It was probably this characteristic of it that fueled the belief that Hypericum was a magical plant, able to ward off evil spirits and demons.

It is also commonly known as "St. John's Wort" because the flowering reaches its peak around the end of June, on the day dedicated to the saint of the same name.

Properties and uses

Hypericum extract is known for its powerful antidepressant and anxiolytic action, which has also been confirmed by several clinical studies concerning the treatment of mild and moderate depression.
Its effectiveness is related to certain molecules (such as flavonoids) that act on the nervous system, promoting relaxation and good mood.

In cases of anxiety, insomnia and high stress we usually recommend two of our Hypericum supplements:

Serene Hypericum Extra, ideal for treating sleep disorders and anxiety , but also cardiac arrhythmia and intestinal spasms of nervous origin. Its effectiveness is accentuated by the presence of medicinal plants in dry extract and powder form, such as Valerian, Hawthorn and Eschscholzia.

Serene 5 HTP is ideal for relieving and counteracting the most common symptoms of depression, such as difficulty concentrating and mood swings.
To Hypericum extract we have added Griffonia extract, for its remarkable contribution of 5-hydroxytryptophan, a molecule that is quickly absorbed by the body exerting a relaxing and stress-relieving effect.
In addition, the supplement is enriched with Rhodiola Rosea (which promotes good mood) vitamins and magnesium, which help to fill the deficiencies typical of depressive forms.
