Saffron Extract
Saffron is a spice derived from the Crocus sativus flower, rich in bioactive compounds. Clinical research suggests it may play a role in stress management and emotional well-being. Saffron's active constituents include carotenoids, phenols, and flavonoids, with its effects primarily attributed to crocin and safranal, which contribute to its distinct aroma and color.
Research indicates that saffron may influence nervous system function through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, modulation of the HPA axis, interaction with the GABAA receptor, and effects on neurotransmitter levels, including dopamine. Clinical trials have examined affron’s potential role in mood regulation and occasional stress-related symptoms such as nervousness, tension, and fatigue. Studies also suggest affron may contribute to relaxation and evening melatonin levels in individuals experiencing restlessness.
