[What is St. John's wort]

St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) has a history of use as a medicine dating back to ancient Greece, where it was used for a range of illnesses, including various nervous disorders. St. John’s wort also has antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral properties. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it has been applied to the skin to help heal wounds and burns. St. John’s wort is one of the most commonly purchased herbal products in the United States.

In recent years, St. John’s wort has been studied extensively as a treatment for depression. Most studies show that St. John’s wort may help treat mild-to-moderate depression, and has fewer side effects than most other prescription antidepressants.

A few years back the FDA and the EU gave Stevia the green light to be used as a general purpose sweetener in food and drink. Steviva Ingredient in particular has been capitalizing on the acidified food markets. We increased our ingredient sales five fold over the past year. We continue to see a very solid upswing in our ingredient sales for pure stevia and stevia fortified sweeteners from the beverage and condiment categories.

A product with a pH of less than 7 is acidic, while one with a pH of more than 7 is alkaline. An acid product tastes sour, and an alkaline one tastes bitter. If acidification is not controlled at a pH of 4.6, it might result in a dangerous toxin producing microorganism, known as Clostridium botulinum, which can grow on some foods. Since stevia and related products fall shy of a pH of 7, these are neutral in acidity and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA.
