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'm a little late on this but the Perika SJW I bought from Amazon arrived today. I was surprised to see the Nature's Way logo. The SJW I had started last week was a bottle of Nature's Way purchased at CVS in my town, but I decided to switch to Perika just in case the store-bought bottle was snake oil.
I actually think the store-bought Nature's Way is in fact the real deal, as my motivation and concentration seems to have improved substantially, my anxiety has gone down, and I'm sleeping better. I feel like it's "fixed" me somehow and maybe I needed an SSRI. These effects kicked in gradually around Day 2-3.
It will be interesting to see how Perika compares.

Perika is kind of like Bacognize for bacopa. The actual extract is made by Dr. Willmar Schwabe Company, then licensed to companies like Natures Way. I think NW might have exclusivity rights in the US, but I am not sure.
