Any plans to offer St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum)?

There's a lot of existing research on this interesting herb but it's all focused on hypericin and depression while there seems to be some evidence that other compounds in the plant (Hyperforin) may be of more relevance and interest.
There also seem to be a lot of potential benefits beyond depression treatment that have gotten little attention. The potential anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-cancer, neuroprotective, and anti-opiate-dependency properties look interesting. This meta review is interesting and does a good job of summing it up. It may even be effective in combating COVID-19 \[1\], \[2\].
Anecdotally I've used it to great effect for mild anxiety and depression with no side effects.
Has ND looked into offering a St. John's Wort product? It seems difficult to find a high quality full spectrum preparation that can be trusted so I'd love to see a ND version!

Yeah, it is something we will probably do at some point. We have not started working on it yet. However, we plan to at some point.
