Saffron Extract (Crocus sativus) — 88.5 mg 

Purpose: Mood, emotional wellbeing, stress management and antioxidant support. 

Saffron contains naturally occurring bioactive compounds, including safranal, crocins and related carotenoids. These compounds are responsible for many of saffron’s characteristic properties and have been investigated for their effects on the nervous system and antioxidant activity. 

Research suggests saffron supplementation may help support a positive mood and emotional wellbeing, including during periods of everyday stress. Some clinical research has also investigated saffron’s influence on neurotransmitter systems involved in mood regulation, including serotonin, although it should not be described as directly increasing serotonin or as a treatment for depression or anxiety. 

Saffron’s naturally occurring antioxidants may also help protect cells from oxidative stress and support general cellular health. 

Potential benefits include: 

• Supports a positive and balanced mood 

• Promotes emotional wellbeing 

• Helps support the body during periods of everyday stress 

• Supports normal neurotransmitter pathways involved in mood 

• Provides natural antioxidant protection 

• Helps protect cells against oxidative stress 

• May support mental wellbeing and relaxation 

• Supports overall nervous-system wellness 

Safranal — Standardized to 2% 

Purpose: Consistent concentration of a key saffron compound. 

Safranal is one of saffron’s naturally occurring bioactive compounds and contributes to its characteristic aroma. Standardizing the extract to 2% safranal helps provide a consistent amount of this compound from capsule to capsule. 

Vegetable Cellulose Capsule 

Purpose: Plant-based capsule shell. 

Vegetable cellulose provides a plant-based alternative to traditional gelatin capsules and conveniently contains the active ingredients. 

Organic Rice Flour 

Purpose: Natural formulation aid. 

Organic rice flour is commonly used as a plant-based carrier or filler to help maintain consistent capsule volume and ingredient distribution. 

Magnesium Stearate 

Purpose: Manufacturing and consistency aid. 

Magnesium stearate is used in small quantities to improve ingredient flow during manufacturing and help ensure consistent capsule filling.
