Saffron Bioactive, Affron® Saffron Extract 30mg, Standardised 3.5% Lepticrosalides, Once Daily, 30 Vegan Capsules

very good

Great product, it helped me with perimenopausal symptoms. It gives me a bit more energy and has helped improve my sleep.

I specifically wanted a saffron supplement using the branded Affron extract, so I liked that this clearly states 30mg per serving and the standardised 3.5% lepticrosalides. The capsules are small and easy to swallow, with no noticeable saffron taste afterwards. I've simply added one to my morning routine and haven't experienced any digestive discomfort. Relaxation and emotional balance are difficult things to measure objectively, so I wouldn't claim a dramatic difference from taking a supplement, especially after a short period. For me the main positives are the straightforward formulation, convenient dose and knowing exactly which saffron extract is being used.

Organically produced is misleading, there is nothing that indicates that this had anything organic in it. Not great. There needs to be more regulations on these items

I ordered this saffron supplement to help with sleep quality issues. I had never taken saffron before, but after doing some research on its benefits for relaxation, I wanted to give it a try. I chose this specific one because it uses affron, which is a high quality, tested extract. This means you actually get a proper, working dose that does what it's supposed to do, rather than just random spice powder. The formula is very clean, with just a few basic ingredients and no unnecessary fillers. The jar contains 30 vegan capsules, which are quite small and very easy to swallow. After taking them, I didn't notice any unpleasant side effects or stomach discomfort at all, which was a relief since it was my first time trying saffron. It is still a bit too early to speak about major long term results because I haven't finished the full course yet. However, I am really happy with the quality so far and plan to keep taking them to see how they help over time. Good value for money.

My daughter (who is a qualified nutritionist) has been recommending this to me because of my age. She actually takes it herself and she said that she really notices a difference. So, I did a bit of internet research, as I do before taking any supplement, and I found that apparently Affron has been tested in several clinical trials with promising results regarding menopause symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, low mood and sleep problems, which at my age (63) I still have. So with my daughter’s recommendation ringing in my ears I ordered this. It comes in a lovely green frosted glass bottle with a metal lid so is completely recyclable which I like. It also has a plastic seal. I was a bit disappointed with a bottle of that size containing only the 30 capsules. I would have liked to see a slightly smaller bottle but it wouldn’t be a deal breaker. The capsules themselves are a nice size and easy to swallow. They don’t taste of anything and I like the fact that they are vegan too. They don’t repeat on you either. The listing description states that each capsule provides 30 mg of Affron and it is standardised to 3.5% Lepticrosalides, which indicates to me that the manufacturer is using the same standardisation and amount as the studies I found on the internet. This was very reassuring. I must say that although it has only been 11 days since I started taking them, I have actually noticed a difference. It is rare for me to take a supplement and actually see a difference, especially so soon, so I was pleasantly surprised. I haven’t had any night sweats lately, or hot flushes either. This could of course be a complete coincidence, but I found it rather encouraging. I will keep taking them and get back in 30 days with an update to this review as it is hard to be sure of my results without more time.

I wanted to give saffron a try as I've been reading up about it's benefits for quite a few different issues I'm dealing with. It's positive effects have been properly researched and published so that gave me some reassurance that it might actually do something unlike some other random supplements I used before. If I remember correctly the studies used the same 30mg dosage which is great. This supplement arrived just like pictures. Nicely presented bottle, easy to swallow capsule, 1x a day dose which is easy to fit into my routine. I genuinely feel so much better since taking it!! My life is chaos with pets and a toddler and studying so I'm a constantly overstimulated nervous mess, but not since I've been taking this! I honestly feel so much calmer and a lot less angry when having to deal with toddler meltdowns and all sorts. I feel chill and happy and regulated and also noticed that I can fall asleep easier. I genuinely found it very effective, so much so that I recommended it to my friends. I'll definitely keep taking saffron as it has helped me stay normal in the midst of mom life madness. Worth giving it a try! ☺️
