Comparative authentication of Hypericum perforatum herbal products using DNA metabarcoding, TLC and HPLC-MS

Abstract Many herbal products have a long history of use, but there are increasing concerns over product efficacy, safety and quality in the wake of recent cases exposing discrepancies between labeling and constituents. When it comes to St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) herbal products, ther...
