When Labels Lie: The St. John's Wort Report
Q: Tell us about that report and what it found.
The Now Foods testing of 22 St. John's Wort supplements revealed that only one product met label claims for total Hyparicin, with several brands showing no detectable Hyparicin and others using synthetic dyes to imitate the color, which can mislead potency assessments.

Q: What would make certain patients more vulnerable to ashwagandha?
Patients with polymorphisms in detox pathways, pre-existing liver issues, or impaired glutathione regeneration should be more cautiously monitored.
