Herbal Antidepressants Many herbal antidepressants are available on the Internet, but only a few have actually been proven to effectively relieve depression. Most of the medicinal herbs marketed for depression have not been studied at all, and even those claiming to be "scientifically proven" are often supported by just one or two poorly designed studies. A handful of herbs, however, have been proven to effectively relieve depression by multiple well-designed clinical trials. The best herbal antidepressants are those that contain these proven herbs in high-quality forms and in the proper dosages.
 But not all herbal antidepressants with St. John's Wort are equal. Many products contain a low-quality form of St. John's Wort or don't provide the herb in the full proven dose. High-quality St. John's Wort extracts contain at least 3% hyperforin, and the best pharmaceutical-grade products are standardized to a minimum of 5% hyperforin. (Hyperforin is the active antidepressant compound in St. John's Wort.) And since the effective daily dosage of St. John's Wort is 900 mg for mild-moderate depression and 1800 mg for severe depression, herbal antidepressants that provide 450 mg per capsule/capsule are superior to those that provide only 100-200 mg per capsule/capsule. Another effective herbal compound for depression is 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan), a natural amino acid extracted from the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. When taken alone, doses of 150-300 mg per day are effective. In herbal antidepressants that combine 5-HTP with St. John's Wort, a daily dose of 25-100 mg 5-HTP is sufficient. In conclusion, the best herbal antidepressants are those containing proven ingredients in the proper doses and potencies and manufactured with strict quality-control procedures. For effective depression relief, we recommend Amoryn, an herbal antidepressant that combines the proven dose of pharmaceutical-grade St. John's Wort extract with 5-HTP, B vitamins, and mood-related nutrients.
