Hyperi-Norm TM� is the first full-spectrum dietary supplement designed to support metabolic functions involved with mood.* The herbal and nutritional ingredients in Hyperi-Norm TM� are in the amounts shown beneficial in scientific studies. The key ingredient, a standardized St. John's wort extract (0.3% hypericin), is complemented by the addition of nutrients important for cognitive function and mood.*
One of the most commonly recommended herbal extracts in Germany, St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) has a complex and diverse chemical makeup. Although most St. John's wort extracts are standardized to hypericin, other constituents, such as flavonoids and xanthones, contribute to the documented actions of St. John's wort for support of metabolic functions involved with mood.*
Although debate continues about the specific action of St. John's wort, research has pointed to diverse actions such as MAO-inhibition, serotonin re-uptake inhibition, and inhibition of the action of interleukin-6.*Other ingredients included in Hyperi-Norm? for metabolic functions supporting mood* include vitamin B-6, folic acid, vitamin B-12, vitamin C, and magnesium.
Vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) is an important cofactor for enzymes that convert L-tryptophan to serotonin and L-tyrosine to norepinephrine. A deficiency or low intake of vitamin B-6 may lead to abnormal levels of these neurotransmitters. Certain populations in our culture, including women using oral contraceptives, may have a marginal deficiency of vitamin B6 that may directly affect mood.*
Serum folate levels may also be affected with use of oral contraceptives as well as other estrogen preparations and anticonvulsants. Low serum folate levels have been noted in some persons and correction is associated with improved mood.* Vitamin B-12 deficiency can occur in the absence of anemia or macrocytosis. Nutrition-oriented physicians often use vitamin B-12 as part of a dietary supplement program for metabolic functions supporting mood.*
Vitamin C serves as the cofactor for tryptophan-5-hydroxylase which catalyzes
the hydroxylation of tryptophan to serotonin. Persons with low serotonin levels may benefit from supplementation of vitamin C.*
Dietary surveys have indicated that many people in our culture do not achieve the Recommended Dietary Allowance for magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can negatively affect metabolic functions, supporting mood.* Nutritional supplementation of 200 to 400 mg of magnesium daily can often address this deficiency.

Contraindications, adverse reactions or interactions
Side effects due to any of the ingredients in Hyperi-Norm are rare. St. John's wort extract and magnesium may cause minor gastrointestinal upset and loose stools in some individuals.
