Re: St. John's Wort Dosage
I know your message was for JAB....but please read my other posts as why I was taking it daily. I mentioned I wanted to jump start the healing process. In no way am I advocating daily use of St. John's Wort on a long term basis. Currently, I am only taking it when I have an outbreak.
Here are details regarding St. John's Wort dosing. If you can click on the link you can read the article in its entirety.

Since St. John's Wort is a nutritional supplement and as such, not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the quality of the supplement may vary. In that case, read product labels and look for an extract standardized to 0.3 percent hypericin, the purported active ingredient in St. John's Wort. One source, Herbal Medicine: Expanded Commission E Monographs, a leading publication on herbal medicines, suggests that the ideal dose of St. John's Wort has extracts from the flowering tops of the plant. The dosage of St. John's Wort that has been used in most studies is a 900 milligram daily dose taken in 300 mg increments three times a day. Results may not be seen for at least four to six weeks, if at all. If there are no results after 6 weeks, discontinue its use, since it's probably not effective for you.
Thanks.
