There isnβt any evidence that simply consuming live bacteria is enough to have it effect on gut flora. I looked into this a while ago because I loved drinking Yakult and wanted to know if it was actually good for me or just sugar water. I still drink it but as a treat and not a every day thing now.
The issue is just a matter of the stomach being good at itβs job (killing everything with acid) and the total amount of bacteria consumed being negligible compared to the amount of bacteria that already lives in you.

You donβt need to drop that much. Most people are kitties and donβt understand that herbs are extremely weak and diluted because theyβve been spoiled from super prescription strength pharma concentrated drugs. I didnβt realize this until I started kratommaxxing and taking the weak powder capsules by the fist-full. Herbs donβt do shit unless you eat 10 times the normal dose, no fricking shit itβs incomparable to perfect laboratory grade potency drugs. Iβve had this discussion multiple times with my family, yes the herbs are a total fricking scam: therefore if you eat half the entire bottle simultaneously, you might get a slight tingle of effect.
You need to take super concentrated herbs? Lol what an r-slur, just take 15 normal caps from the pharmacy where theyβre 75% off + bogo because only you and five other insane people plus one desperate person with cancer are the entire customer base.

It's a specific cultivar, not just a stronger concentrate. I could longpost about the specific chemistry but blah blah low levels of the ickier chemical hyperforin, high levels of the good chemical hypericin. Unlike literally any other brand you can find on Earth. Disregarding that American herbs are literally 100% unregulated, which is way too sketchy for me. I'm out here trying to FIX problems bad chemicals caused, not give people more.
There's more to this than just smashing back some ground up flowerbuds, I mean this stuff would probably grow in my lawn if it wasn't mowed, it grows everywhere and is toxic to livestock so it's actually illegal to not kill it on sight in many places. But it would either not do nothing or cause serious issues depending on how much you take.

Just take a different herb which counteracts the one you donβt want, isolating it sounds do like a huge pain in the butt when itβd be easier to just negate it. Or just have a better liver and have good genes

I don't think there is anything that counteracts this specific chemical that's only known to occur in a single species of plant and which we actually have no idea how it does what it does, but I like where your head is
Ironically the biggest problem is that it actually makes your liver too powerful for other medications to work
If someone takes typical SJW with other serotonergic drugs it can literally kill them (and I'd still be very careful taking this "safer" version with one too), it's very systemically impactful. You might not be getting a high but it's arguably the most bioactive plant on the planet.
All that aside this is simply more effective since it's more dopaminergic than other cultivars, which helps solve the original problem
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Why would you take SJW while on serotonergic drugs, thatβs just asking to frick your system up for a long time, like taking Uridine Monophosphate and dopaminergic drugs like adderall simultaneously will slow down your tolerance building but make it take way longer to recover.
Also, the most bio active plant psychiatrically is probably ayahuasca.

That fricking shit negatively interacts with everything
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Aside from serotonin syndrome (which won't happen if you're not on another serotonergic drug or just take way too darn much) its problem is that it makes you metabolize other drugs so fricking fast they stop working. Off the top of my head I know it turns birth control pills into a placebo, and cyclosporine. It's also recommended to stop taking it for a week or two if you know you're going under anesthesia though I've not found much evidence to really back up that contraindication. Not that it would kill you, just jack up the required dose of anesthetic.
Which is to say you need to be thorough in your own research and careful about taking random bioactive pills without checking for interactions. Being an herb doesn't mean it's safe for the same reason that doesn't mean it's ineffective, though the reason I recommend this very specific ludicrously-priced brand is that it's seemingly the only one on the fricking planet that's standardized to a low hyperforin content, which is the chemical that causes most of the bad interactions. Thankfully the side-effects in isolation are almost literally nothing.

Definitely, but bottom-level neuroscience (what drugs have what effects on what transmitters/receptors) is a rock solid science.

profoundly confused. low level neuroscience has a lot of hard science, but we have no idea what any of those 'specific receeptor effects' mean in relation to more complex / larger scale relations. We know that SSRIs do all sorts of things at all sorts of receptosr, and same for all the other drugs, but have a bunch of very bad gusses for why that causes any observable dfferences in experience
more importantly, all depressed people are so because their position in and relation to modern society is based on a large stack of deceptons and fake images. they should be depressedand * should* want out, and trying to chemically fix that is just forcing yourself to forget what you've lost
