hyperforin

Hyperforin is a natural compound found in the St. John’s Wort plant, commonly used as a herbal remedy for mild to moderate depression. It is believed to influence brain chemistry by increasing the levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which help regulate mood. Hyperforin also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, potentially contributing to its mood-enhancing effects. However, its use should be approached with caution due to possible interactions with other medications. Ongoing research aims to better understand its mechanisms and safety profile in mental health treatment.
