The Bull stops here

St Johns Wort is a herb, it is a shrubby plant, during the flowering season it produces yellow flowers. The whole plant is used to make the herbal remedy.

St Johns Wort has been used for centuries. It is well known for treating anxiety disorders and depressive symptoms such as exhaustion, insomnia, feeling low and anxiety.

If you are avoiding training because you feeling low or emotionally drained St Johns Wort can help pick you up so there is no excuse to avoid the gym.

Available in the form of capsule, tablet or tea which is by far the weakest way to take, plus, to be honest, it doesn't taste brilliant.

Amounts vary depending upon your reason for taking it.

1. If you are already taking medication we would advise you check with your doctor as this could cause problems if you are taking anti-depressants or blood pressure tablets.

We would advise that you check with a health professional if you intend to take ginger to reduce any side effects if you are suffering from an illness or under going any treatment.
