Why buy Hypericum Extract by HSN?

High concentration

However, significant quantities of the plant parts containing the compounds of interest are required, such as hypericin, especially in the branching parts of the plant (in leaves, stems and flowers).

These quantities can't be encapsulated in sufficient amounts to note a beneficial effect, meaning companies that market St John's wort without extracting aren't offering a quality product.

Can you imagine how many capsules you would have to take to consume 16 grams of St John's wort? It's not practical, why is why HSN's extract is the best choice.

With Hypericin

St John's wort contains a unique component called Hypericin, in addition to other similar derivatives such as Hyperforin, but it's hypericin that's the real star of hypericum's composition.

Standardisation is the method by which a system for developing a herbal extract is patented, which, through verification by analysis, makes it possible to determine how to achieve the best possible quality.
