Worth knowing

Super Negin is regarded as the highest commercial grade of saffron.

Our saffron scored 290 for crocin, a marker of saffron's colour strength and quality. Crocin is one of saffron's key active compounds and gives it its rich golden colour.

Research has investigated crocin and crocetin for antioxidant activity, inflammation, mood, cognition, eye health and neuroprotection.

What it helps with

Low mood and depressive symptoms

Saffron supports a brighter mood and emotional balance. In clinical trials, saffron extract reduced depressive symptoms and some of those trials compared it with standard antidepressant medication.

Anxiety and emotional tension

Clinical studies have found that saffron extract can ease anxiety symptoms and support a calmer mood.

PMS symptoms, including mood changes

Saffron has been studied for PMS symptoms, including mood changes, irritability and physical discomfort. Clinical trials reported an improvement in overall PMS symptoms.

Sleep quality

Studies have found improvements in sleep quality and duration after saffron extract was taken regularly.

Focus and hyperactivity in children with ADHD

A clinical trial compared saffron extract with standard ADHD medication in children. Both improved symptoms; saffron showed stronger results for hyperactivity and the medication stronger results for inattention.

Sexual wellbeing

Clinical studies have examined saffron for sexual function in women and men. Some found improvements, including in women experiencing sexual side effects from antidepressant medication.

Memory and cognitive function

Saffron has been studied in people with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. Clinical trials reported improvements in cognitive test scores.

Appetite and snacking

A clinical study found that saffron extract reduced snacking and increased feelings of fullness.

Retinal function and age-related macular degeneration

Clinical trials have studied saffron in people with age-related macular degeneration and reported improvements in measures of retinal function and vision.
