In reply to is sjw a maoi or not,can eat any food or not, posted by felipe on October 17, 2002, at 0:47:35
Yes,
All the information I have read says that
it does have MAOI properties. It also
has properties of a reputake inhibitor.
The research showed too that this effect,
was very weak and that It means very little.
In short, there have been no cases of death
from food interactions with SJW. If you want
to be completely sure, start on SJW and then
eat a little cheese and measure your blood
pressure about an hour later. If you find
no major fluctuations in BP then feel free
to eat whatever.
Since SJW has other AD properties besides
MAOI a theripuic dose will most likely not
do any harm. I can not guarentee anything.
What I do recomend is using a reputabe brand,
such as Kira - the most tested SJW extract.
If this product caused death it would be
well documentedLinkadge
