St. Johns Wort is a perennial flowery plant that naturally grows in some parts of Europe. This shrub is famous for supporting overall health through its three active components including hyperforin, hypericin, pseudohypericin and xanthones. Among all these, hyperforin is the most beneficial to mental and emotional health. Perika is the patented name for the exclusive hyperforin formulation made by Nature’s Way. Hyperforin promotes mood balance by inhibiting the reuptake of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. By acting as a reuptake inhibitor, there is an increased level of these three brain chemicals producing a more balanced mood to restore total emotional balance. It also positively acts on another neurotransmitter, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). GABA is responsible for promoting calmness and relaxation. Low hyperforin St. John’s wort preparation does not produce the same positive neurotransmitter effects and thus, do not effectively elevate the mood and decrease agitation. Aside from promoting a positive mood, Perika’s HyperiSure System technology is designed to contain the hyperforin level that produces clinical effectiveness as Hyperforin can lose its potency over time.
