NOTE: I am not suggesting that anyone take any supplements, particularly if currently on prescribed medication. The combination of, say, St. John's Wort and SSRIs, for example, can result in Serotonin toxicity.

I mentioned peer review because it sounds as though that feature is given particular weight, although I don't doubt that it's possible to get a non-peer-reviewed journal indexed if they consider it particularly worthy in some other respect.

The website says over three-quarters of titles get rejected (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/j_sel_faq.html), so it seems that they're pretty ruthless. As far as I can tell, all the articles are all indexed manually, which could well explain why only a minority of journals are accepted for indexing. I do agree that it would be good to have more transparency in the review process, though, even if it was no more than a one-line reason for rejection/acceptance.
