Pure Crocus Sativus ExtractPure Standardized Saffron ExtractNatural Neurotransmitter StimulatorPromotes Healthy Mood BalanceHelps with Stress ManagementWith over 150 compounds identified in its flower, this highly prized herb has many traditional health-related uses, from inflammation to PMS to digestive support. However, this product has recently gained renewed interest due to 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 managing depressive symptoms, with mechanisms of action believed to be similar to those of prescription antidepressants (i.e., monoamine [dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin] reuptake inhibition and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid [NMDA] receptor inhibition). Saffron also has GABA-like effects, which helps relieve feelings of anxiety. Saffron has been clinically proven to aid in stress management while promoting mood balance, and scientific studies continue to reveal its health benefits. Saffron must be hand-picked under specific 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 using a patented process that extracts the main active compounds from the stigma of saffron flowers without causing oxidative damage.
