Hola!
I'm moving to Spain for the summer and want to take St Johns Wort tablets.
First of all can you take them into spain?
Do you have to declare them at the airport?
Can I take 7 months worth?
Or any suggestions of websites that i've missed that can help me?
Many thanks :)

Blackmores St John's Wort aids in the relief of low mood or despondency, and feelings of sadness and/or tearfulness. It helps to relieve the loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities. You can take them to Spain. It hardly matters and you need not to declare them on the airport.

If you pack it in your suitcase rather than hand luggage, saves any hassle. I know you can buy this here in health/herb shops and also the supermarket Mercadonna sells some - but better brand/value from UK!

Here is a site which sells St. John's Wort (Hip?rico or Hierba de San Juan, in Spanish). You can compare prices.
