摘要
Twelve samples of Hypericum perforatum L. (St. John's wort) were collected throughout Oregon and assayed for hypericin concentrations which ranged from 0.03 to 0.38%. eight commercially available dietary supplements were also assayed using the same methods and the hypericin concentrations varied from 47 to 165% of their labeled concentrations.
