Topic Title: I just bought a new product

Hi all. I am trying a product called HTP.Calm made by Natural Balance. It contains 20mg of Vitamin B-6, a proprietary blend of Passion Flower/Gotu Kola/Kava Kava at 590mg, 300mg of St. Johns Wort, and 50mg of 5-HTP per pill. It says on the bottle to take two capsules once or twice daily. The recommended dose only contains 600mg of St. Johns Wort. I believe I read several times on this site that a person needs about 900mg of St. Johns Wort a day for the proper dosage. Is this information correct, and if so what do you recommend I do? The bottle contains 60 capsules or a 30 day supply. Thanks for responses.

There is a school of thought that at first it is best to take one supplement at a time rather than a blend so that it is easier to isolate any resulting benefits or problems. Still, since you have already bought this blend, maybe you could just try it for a while and see what happens. Or, if the expiration date is a long ways off, maybe try just SJW for a while at the recommended dose. Perika is reputed to be a good brand. If you do choose to try the blend on its own, I am sure many on this forum would be interested in hearing the results. Good luck!
