On the label
Adults: 2-4 capsules at bedtime or as directed by a healthcare professional. Children: as directed by a healthcare professional.
Do not combine with St. John's Wort
Each of these raises serotonin activity on top of St. John's Wort, and together they can trigger serotonin syndrome — agitation, rapid heartbeat, raised blood pressure. Not without medical supervision.
