## Saffron Extract 30mg: the most studied botanical for mood

Saffron is the dried stigma of the Crocus sativus flower, gram for gram the most expensive spice on earth, and over the last decade one of the most rigorously studied botanicals for mood and emotional well-being. Eternal Elixir Saffron Extract uses affron®, a standardised extract of saffron stigma with a guaranteed 3.5% Lepticrosalides®, the complex of crocins, safranal and related compounds responsible for saffron's activity. Each capsule delivers 30 mg, the daily amount used in the published trials, so one capsule a day gives you the researched dose with no guesswork. Ninety capsules is a full three-month supply, and with free shipping over $100 it is a simple way to buy a research-grade saffron supplement in Australia.

## What the research shows

affron® has been tested in several randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials. In a four-week study of 128 adults self-reporting low mood, 28 mg of affron® a day significantly reduced negative mood and stress-related symptoms compared with placebo. A 28-day trial of 63 adults with self-reported sleep problems found the same extract improved sleep quality on validated sleep-quality and restorative-sleep measures. An eight-week trial of a standardised saffron extract at 30 mg a day in 56 healthy adults reported improved emotional well-being and a healthier response to a laboratory stress task. And in 86 women during perimenopause, 12 weeks of affron® was associated with greater improvements in mood and psychological symptoms than placebo. Across these studies saffron was well tolerated.

## How it works

Saffron's active compounds, crocin, crocetin and safranal, appear to act on several fronts at once. In research they modulate the reuptake of key mood neurotransmitters including serotonin and dopamine, help moderate the body's stress response through the HPA axis, and act as antioxidants in brain tissue. Unlike sedating herbs, saffron is not associated with drowsiness, which is why many people take it in the morning and notice steadier energy and mood through the day.

## Ingredients

Saffron Extract (Crocus sativus, stigma) standardised to 3.5% Lepticrosalides® (affron®) 30 mg per capsule. Other ingredients: vegetable capsule, rice flour. No artificial fillers, colours or preservatives. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

## Suggested use

Take one (1) capsule daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Take it at the same time each day; the benefits in trials built over four to eight weeks of consistent use.
