Other Ingredients (3)
MaltodextrinBinder
Spikes blood sugar faster than table sugar (glycemic index 85–105). Research links it to gut bacteria changes that may promote intestinal inflammation (Nickerson et al. 2015). Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.
Rice ExtractFiller
Rice-based ingredients carry risk of inorganic arsenic contamination. Vague labeling — 'rice extract' does not specify what is extracted or standardized. Used as a cheap filler with no supplemental benefit.
HypromelloseCapsule
Plant-derived capsule material from cellulose
How to Take It
Best taken in the morning
Take earlier in the day with food. Check the conflicts below — it interacts seriously with serotonergic compounds.
With food
On the label
Use only as directed. Take 1 tablet daily with a meal or glass of water.
Do not combine with 5-HTP, SAMe or Tryptophan
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.
General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
