Saffron is known in many households as a spice. However, Saffron is more than that, it is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory derived from the flower of Crocus sativus. It contains 3 bioactive compounds. 

• Crocin - An antioxidant with free radical scavenging activity
• Safranal – Anxiolytic and antidepressant properties 
• Picrocin – The precursor of Safranal and is often missed from lower cost saffron supplements 

• Reduce fatigue
• Improve sleep quality
• Emotional balance - lowers stress
• Lower systemic inflammation
• Improve hormonal health resulting in reduced PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome)

Saffron is an anti inflammatory and potent antioxidant reducing free radicals that cause oxidative stress on the body.

When looking for a good saffron supplement look for a concentration of 3.5% of the high strength bioactive Crocus sativus stigma and that it contains 30mg of pure saffron extract. This amount of saffron has been shown to be efficacious and side effect free.
