30mg/mL standardized crocin dual-extract
This saffron extract is as delightful to taste as it is to experience.
From the first drop, you will see why saffron has been more valuable than gold (by weight) for millennia. This special botanical has evolved along humans since the Silk Road.
At SoulCraft Apotheca, have carefully sourced true Super Negin grade saffron threads to provide the best quality extract. With easy dosing (2 droppers for 0.5 oz bottle; 1 dropper for 1 oz bottle), while retaining the full spectrum of valuable components naturally occurring in saffron, and contributing “entourage effects” to its, now well researched, highly-favored crocin content.
This can be added to water, juice, tea, mixed drinks, etc. Get creative!
Ingredients: Organic super negin saffron threads, organic cane alcohol, natural spring water.
Studies and meta-analyses suggest that saffron extract can be as effective as fluoxetine (Prozac, an SSRI antidepressant) for treating mild to moderate depression, but with fewer reported side effects.
Key Findings from Clinical Research
Comparable Efficacy: Several double-blind, randomized controlled trials (the gold standard in research) have found that a daily dosage of around 30 mg of standardized saffron extract produced similar improvements in depressive symptoms as standard doses of antidepressants like fluoxetine (Prozac) and imipramine.
Fewer Side Effects: A key advantage noted in these studies is that saffron is generally well-tolerated, with fewer adverse effects compared to conventional antidepressants. Common SSRI side effects such as sexual dysfunction, sedation, and dry mouth are less frequent with saffron.
Mechanism of Action: Saffron's antidepressant effects are attributed to its active compounds like crocin and safranal, which appear to modulate levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine by potentially inhibiting their reuptake in the brain. This mechanism is similar to how SSRIs work.
Ancillary Benefits: Saffron may also offer additional benefits, such as helping with anxiety, improving sleep quality, and reducing symptoms of PMS or PMDD. It has also been shown to help treat antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction when used as an adjunct therapy. (NIH)
