Best Answer

Studies show St. John's Wort to be safe, without any serious side effects. St. John's Wort should not be taken with prescription medicines without the supervision of a doctor or professional health care practitioner, as it can cause some prescription drugs, including Birth Control pills, not to be as effective.
