Does anyone know if it's possible to get New Chapter's St John's Wort in/into Aus? I tried to import it from iherb but it's automatically prohibited; I also called a few health shops/practitioners, but no one had any clue.

I've tried the local variant -- Remotiv -- but it just makes me sleepy; New Chapter's is supposed to be more 'energizing'. I'd be more comfortable going with a name brand, since St John's can be so hit-and-miss.

I was going to say, easy, ebay but not sure your product is there. Just one New Chapter St. John's Wort product, which is St. John's Force, same thing? Just expect to pay more on the shipping than iherb.

You just have to fish around and look for a seller who has no concerns about what can be imported into Australia. Most on ebay are oblivious, when iherb stopped shipping Douglas Lab products (due to doctor/practise exclusive nonsense) I just went there.

Thanks, I guess my concern with buying off ebay was whether or not it would still make it through customs ..?
