Saffron Extract: Why It’s in Calmer⁺

🌼 Ancient tradition meets modern science

Saffron, the vibrant red threads from the Crocus sativus flower, has been treasured for over 2,500 years in Persian, Mediterranean, and South Asian cultures. Long celebrated for its uplifting and soothing qualities, modern clinical research now confirms saffron’s ability to support emotional wellbeing and resilience.

⚖️ Calmer⁺’s Dose: 30 mg

30 mg daily is the most widely studied dose for saffron in clinical trials.
At this level, saffron has been shown to support mood, reduce feelings of stress, and improve sleep quality — all with excellent safety and tolerability.

🔬 How it works, evidence suggests:

Supports mood balance by influencing serotonin, a neurotransmitter central to emotional wellbeing.
Eases stress by helping regulate cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone.
Promotes restful sleep with improvements seen in both perceived rest and measured sleep quality.
Offers antioxidant protection, as natural compounds like crocin and crocetin protect brain and nerve cells from oxidative stress.

📊 What the science shows

In healthy adults, saffron extract at 30 mg daily reduced stress and low mood, while also improving resilience during stressful situations.
Some studies have shown saffron to be as effective as common antidepressants for mild-to-moderate depression, but with fewer side effects.
In a trial of adults with moderate insomnia, those taking either 20 or 30mg a day of saffron reported better sleep quality, reduced stress, and improved mood compared to the placebo within just four weeks.

✅ Safety profile

30 mg per day is well tolerated and has been tested in multiple human studies.
Side effects are rare and usually mild, such as slight drowsiness or digestive upset.
Very high doses (grams per day) can be toxic, but Calmer⁺ contains only the safe, clinically proven amount
Not recommended during pregnancy, and those on SSRIs or with certain health conditions should consult a doctor before use.
