I used to take Movana (St. Johns Wort) and it was great. I haven't found another brand that works anywhere nearly as well for me. Does anyone have a stockpile or know where I can still buy it? Unfortunately it was discontinued several years ago.
Thanks!

I too am a big fan of sjw. I didn't know Movana had been discontinued. If you haven't already tried them, similar formulations are Kira brand and Natures Way Perika. I'm not positive, but I believe Movana's hyperforin content was about 5%. Perika I believe is in the 3% to 5% range. Kira is 3%. Another brand, though I'm not too familiar with it, is Amoryn, which has 5% hyperforin but also has a little 5HTP in it. Most other brands don't specify hyperforin, so who knows.
It seems to me after browsing through lots of scientific studies at pubmed.com, the main thing that could determine the unique qualities that various brands have is how the extact is actually done. For example, methanol extracts are a little different than ethanol extracts, and both are significantly different than CO2 extracts, freeze dried extracts, or supercritical extracts. You might want to research and see if you can find out how Movana was made. My guess is it was a methanol extract.
It seems to me that there must be a brand out there that will give effects for you similar to what Movana did. But trial and error is probably the only way to find it.
