Saint John's wort

Hi there!
Do you have any plans to eventually carry Saint John's wort (Hypericum perforatum)?
I've been wanting to try it for a long time, but I've never been able to feel completely comfortable about the brands that I've seen. If you ever sold it, I would jump to get my hands on some from a source that I can trust.

Yes, but we need to ensure it is oxygen-stable and a high hyperforin extract. Up until recently we have not had the capabilities of doing coated tablets, which is what you would need for something like this. However, we do now. So it can be something we consider.
Perika is what I have always suggested, but I am a bit upset at them with their monopoly on it in the space. Dr. Willmar Schwabe GmbH & Co. are the people behind the extract used in Perika, WS5570. Not many people know this, but they bought Nature's Way. So of course Nature's Way are the exclusive sellers of the WS5570 extract in the United States, and the patent holder won't even return our calls or emails in relation to us being interested in selling their extract. I don't find that practice to be very appealing. It's more how a pharmaceutical company would operate. So if nothing else, I would like to bring a high hyperforin extract out under our own brand, and use some of our other relationships to make it oxygen-stable, to at least give people an alternative.
