| |  "Gaia and NOW brands"

From the USA:
I have used Gaia brand herbal extracts, which are liquid extracts in capsules, with very good results, so I tried their SJW, with good results (one week so far).
They make a SJW 540mg standardized to .5% in every 3 capsules, which would be 180mg per capsule, and a proprietary blend of SJW (called Phyto-Proz Supreme) with other herbs like Ginkgo, which contains 105mg at .5% in every 3 capsules (only 35mg of SJW in each capsule).
I have been taking 3 capsules of each, spread throughout the day, but am going to switch to taking the entire bunch before bedtime, to alleviate the fatigue I get sometimes. I'll add more if I feel the need. So far the results are very good. I could tell a difference within 4-5 days.
I also take NOW brand 5HTP, and have been very happy with the results, especially in the quality of my sleep, without drowsiness the next morning. I take 100mg before bedtime. I am experimenting with taking a little more, to see if I can extend my sleep. I have a problem with being able to sleep only 5 hours before waking up, and would like to extend that to 7 hours consistently.

I also have addresses if desired. Gaia is in North Carolina, NOW is in Illinois.
NOW specializes in supplements that are very reasonably priced but high quality. I have been very satisfied with all NOW supplements. (the SJW is not standardized)
I found both of these at Vitamin Cottage, in Denver, Colorado.
Wild Oats or Alfalfas may have them also.
Thanks, Kelly, for the great website!
