St. John's Wort brands that actually contain St. John's wort?

There was an investigation done by the New York State attorney general that found a bunch of store brands of St. John's wort contain 0 actual St. John's wort.
Is there a brand that reliably contains the actual thing and, preferably, still competes on price with the fake ones? I don't think you should have to pay $30 for a few grams of plant matter.

I've never swallowed a pill in my entire life. I've done that before, but i'm always worried that i'm not taking it the right way by cutting it in half.

Well you're not. It's enteric coated, so that it is protected till it gets past your stomach. Breaking it up gets rid of that protection. However, you would not have that with the bulk powder anyway. At least you know it is standardized to active ingredients. You're going to have to learn to swallow a pill at some point. There is going to come a time when it will be necessary.
