In
this meta-analysis involving 23 randomized studies, 15 of which were
placebo-controlled, it was found that hypericum extract proved significantly
effective in the treatment of patients suffering from moderate to mildly severe
depression.

Meta-analysis of Randomized Clinical Trails," British Medical Journal, 313
(7052), August 3, 1996, p.253-258.) In this
study, an SHS-174 preparation, a lyophized infusion from flowers of Sambucus
nigra L., aerial parts of Hypericum performatum L., and roots of Saponaria
officinalis (100g, 70g, 40g) exhibited an antiherpes simplex virus type 1 effect
in vitro. The preparation contains flavonoids, triperpene, saponins, phenolic
acids, tannins and polysaccharide which could be responsible for its antiviral
properties.
