Major depression | Hypericum (St John's wort) | Cochrane Collaboration[1] (2008) |
Systematic review | "The available evidence suggests that the hypericum extracts tested in the included trials a) are superior to placebo in patients with major depression; b) are similarly effective as standard antidepressants; c) and have fewer side effects than standard antidepressants. The association of country of origin and precision with effects sizes complicates the interpretation." |
Disorder | Intervention | Study (year) | Study design | Conclusion |
---|---|---|---|---|
Benign prostatic hypertrophy | Serenoa repens (Saw palmetto) | Bent et al[2] (2006 ) |
