Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Combining St. John's wort with a multivitamin is not recommended as St. john's wort might show interactions with many of its components. You can start with all these except for ST. John's wort at the same time.
I would advise you to take all these supplements under your physician's guidance and do not self medicate yourself even if these are food supplements.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
