A member asked:
What are some safe and reliable holistic supplements for concentration and anxiety? how effective is st. john's wort, 5htp, etc.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Used for depression: Both st john wort and 5htp are both used and claimed to be effective for depression.I do not think it will help anxiety unless it is related to underlying depression consult your medical provider for your diagnosis before you take either of these.
