Most studies carried out with SJW have employed an 80% methanol extract standardized to contain O.3% hypericin. About 300 mg of this extract is recommended 3 times a day. LI 160 is a standardized extract based on hypericin content while WS 5572 is a standardized extract. A good number of studies using standardized preparations containing 0.3% hypericin have proved to be superior to placebos and have shown to be as effective as low-dose tricyclic antidepressants.
