NFH Saffron SAP provides saffron (Crocus sativus) stigma extract standardized to 3.5% Lepticrosalides, delivering crocins and safranal — sourced from premium all-red stigmas for maximum potency, since saffron quality varies enormously by grade.Why stigma quality and standardization matterSaffron is famously one of the most expensive spices in the world because harvesting the stigmas is entirely manual, and lower grades often mix in the less-potent yellow style tissue alongside the red stigma. Sourcing all-red stigmas and standardizing to Lepticrosalides content ensures the active compounds behind saffron's traditional use for mood balance — crocins and safranal — are present in a meaningful, consistent amount. Preclinical and clinical research supports saffron's role in healthy mood, women's health, sexual function, and eye health.Often chosen by Anyone supporting mood balance through a well-researched botanical Women interested in saffron's studied role in women's health specifically Those wanting an alternative to more common mood-support botanicals Format and exclusions60 vegetable capsules per bottle, 1 capsule twice daily.
