With over 150 compounds identified in its flower, this prized herb has many traditional health-related uses, from inflammation to PMS to digestive support. However, it has recently gained renewed interest for its therapeutic role in mood, homocysteine levels, anxiety and more. It is a natural support for neurotransmitters that modulate various functions including sleep and mood. Studies to date support its effective role in the management of depressive symptoms, with mechanisms of action believed to be similar to those of prescription antidepressants (i.e., inhibition of monoamine reuptake [dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin] and inhibition of the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid [NMDA] receptor). Saffron also has GABA-like effects, which help relieve feelings of anxiety. Saffron has been clinically proven to help with stress management, while promoting mood balance, and scientific studies continue to reveal its health benefits.
Saffron must be hand-picked under special conditions, making it one of the most luxurious and expensive plants. As a result, many so-called "saffron" products are adulterated with other less expensive plants. AOR Saffron is a pure, standardized extract from Iran, obtained by a patented process that extracts the main active compounds from the stigma of saffron flowers without causing oxidative damage.
