Consumers are cautioned that many
nutritional supplements, botanicals and botanical products can
have powerful effects on the body. Therefore, the following precautions
should be noted. "Safety Data" information for applicable items
carrying the "St. John's Botanicals" label, are followed by an
asterisk (*) and a "Safety Data Number." The "Key" to the "Safety
Data Number" is listed below. Products offered for sale on this

where relevant. Information contained on this site is not intended

In 1991, the World Health Organization proposed, "... that if
a product has been traditionally used without demonstrated harm,
no specific restrictive regulatory action should be taken unless
new evidence demands a revised risk-benefit assessment." In the
year 2000, the following safety data was taken from the "American
Herbal Products Association Botanical Safety Handbook." The products
offered on this site for which there exists no safety guidelines
at this time, may be considered safe with normal usage. "Safety
Data Numbers" corresponding with this list will be found in the
