St.
John’s Wort is widely recognized for its ability to safely and
naturally support positive emotional health.* Extracts of the medicinal
plant St. John’s Wort (SJW) have been reported to exert antidepressant,
anxiolytic, and cognitive effects.* Active constituents such as
hypericins and hyperforin play important roles in its pharmacological
activity.
But the magnitude of effects observed is consistently
higher in groups treated with supercritical (CO2) extracts of this
flower than conventional ethanol extracts.
“Supercritical”
means Super Purity, Super Potency, Broad Spectrum, and No Chemical
Solvents. We take nature’s finest herbs and then extract and highly
concentrate (as high as 250 to 1) their precious ingredients. We do not
isolate out single ingredients or spike our extracts with synthesized
additives. We deliver the wisdom of nature with the complexity
and organic nuances of the natural herb preserved for you. In fact, the
supercritical process is the gentlest way to extract these delicate
plant compounds in a manner to optimally preserve their potency and
stability. And when you take New Chapter’s supercritical extracts,
neither you, nor the environment, have to contend with chemical
solvents.
