Everything you need to know about our premium supplements
affron® is a standardised extract of saffron stigma (Crocus sativus) with a guaranteed 3.5% Lepticrosalides®, the group of bioactive compounds, including crocins and safranal, that give saffron its effects. Culinary saffron varies enormously in potency and you would need to eat a lot of it, at great expense, to approach the amounts used in research. A standardised extract delivers a consistent, measured dose in one small capsule, which is what the clinical trials actually tested. Many generic saffron capsules list a dry-powder weight with no standardisation, so you cannot know what you are getting.
One capsule a day. Each saffron capsule contains 30 mg of affron® saffron extract, which matches the 28–30 mg daily range used across the published human trials on mood, stress and sleep. Taking more has not been shown to add benefit. Take it with a meal at the same time each day.
In the trials, differences in mood and stress-related symptoms were measured after four weeks of daily use, sleep quality improved over 28 days, and the eight-week study showed further gains in emotional well-being. Some people notice a lift sooner, but give it a full four weeks of consistent daily use before judging, and ideally the whole 90-day bottle.
If you take any medication that affects mood, including antidepressants, speak with your doctor before adding saffron, because saffron influences the same neurotransmitter systems. The same applies if you take blood-thinning medication or have a medical condition. Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
In a 28-day randomised, placebo-controlled trial of 63 adults with self-reported sleep problems, affron® at 14 mg twice daily improved sleep quality on validated sleep-quality and restorative-sleep questionnaires compared with placebo. It is not a sedative; it appears to support the mood and stress pathways that shape how well you sleep. For sleep support, many people pair it with our Magnesium L-Threonate in the evening.
No. Saffron is not sedating and drowsiness was not a reported effect in the trials. Because it supports a brighter mood and a calmer stress response, most people describe steadier energy through the day rather than less of it. You can take it in the morning or the evening, whichever you will remember consistently.
affron® has been used daily for up to 12 weeks in the published trials with no notable adverse effects, and saffron has a long history of dietary use. It is intended for adults. If you have a medical condition or take medication, check with your healthcare professional first, and stop use if you experience any adverse reaction.
Yes. Saffron pairs naturally with Magnesium L-Threonate for sleep quality, with Korean Red Panax Ginseng or Methylene Blue for daytime drive, and it sits comfortably alongside an NMN longevity routine. Because it is a single-ingredient extract at a researched dose, it is easy to add to almost any stack.
Yes. The only ingredients are affron® saffron extract, a vegetable capsule and rice flour, with no artificial fillers, colours or preservatives, so it is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Yes on both counts. Every batch is independently tested by an accredited third-party laboratory for identity, potency and purity, including heavy metals and microbial contaminants, and a current certificate of analysis is available on request. We ship to every Australian state and territory from our Australian warehouse; orders over $100 ship free, orders are dispatched within 24 hours on business days, and every order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.
