The major compounds of interest in St. John's Wort leaves and flowers have been hypericin and pseudohypericin. These compounds are typically found in very low concentrations ranging from 0.0095 to 0.466 percent in the leaves and as much as 0.24 percent in the flowers. Recent research has also focused on hyperforin, which some researchers believe is a major active component. Other active components include flavonoids, xanthones, carotenoids, and phytosterols.
