Ingredient Name: Saffron
Botanical Name: Crocus sativus L.
Also Known As: Saffron stigma, 藏紅花, 番紅花
Category: Herbal Extract / Botanical Nutrient


🌿 Overview

Saffron is a spice derived from the dried stigmas of Crocus sativus and is among the most valuable botanicals in the world. In addition to its culinary use, saffron has been increasingly studied for its health-supporting properties, particularly in relation to sleep, mood, cognition, and women's health.


🧪 Active Components

  • Safranal – aromatic compound associated with calming effects

  • Crocin – carotenoid with antioxidant and neuroprotective potential

  • Picrocrocin – precursor of safranal; contributes to flavor


💡 Functional Benefits

Modern research has explored saffron’s potential to support:

  • Sleep Quality: Saffron extract (28–30 mg/day) has shown potential to support subjective sleep quality, reduce nighttime awakenings, and improve next-day alertness

  • Emotional Balance: May help maintain mood stability under stress and reduce feelings of anxiousness

  • Premenstrual Symptoms: Some clinical studies observed saffron’s role in improving emotional well-being in women with PMS or PMDD

  • Cognitive Health: Antioxidant properties of crocin may contribute to memory and focus, especially in older adults

  • Oxidative Stress Defense: Natural antioxidant profile may assist in daily protection from free radical damage


💊 Dosage & Usage

  • Common dosage range: 28–30 mg/day of standardized saffron extract

  • Usage period: 4–8 weeks for mood and sleep support

  • Avoid exceeding 60 mg/day unless supervised by a healthcare professional


⚠️ Safety Notes
