Hi!
I had a peek - it does look really interesting. And I bet it is effective. However, I would be slightly concerned about the different ingredients in it - not too sure whether they would be 'too much' - you have three things acting on sertonin, ie the SJW, 5-HTP and rhodiola and I dunno, it seems abit 'too much'. But maybe thats good.
I notice that the SJW component they use is hyperforin instead of hypericin -- I think current research suggests that the hyperforin has more AD effects, but that really the whole plant extract should be taken because they don't know how some of it works.
I think the product looks good, but I feel abit hmmm dunno. I think it would be better to take all the ingrediants separtelty, so that you could adjust your dosages yourself. That said, adjusting things takes time and money and the amoryn stuff would be good just to see if you like the kinda alternative things.
For me, I would worry that there doesn't seem to be any studies showing that all the ingredients didn't interact with one another ie the SJW, 5-htp, rhodiola. But then I am paranoid about these things!!!!!!
Let us know what you think too! And whether you try it or not.
