Saffron Extract Supplement - 88.25 mg Capsules with Standardized .3% Safranal Extract Plus Pure Saffron Powder, 60 Maximum Strength Vegetarian Pills - Premium Appetite and Eye Supplement

Saffron does an amazing job of mitigating mood as well as my hunger cravings. I have lost 4 pounds since i started and Saffron has accelerated and helped maintain my diet. You have to watch your sugar consumption however because as saffron takes away hunger sugar will put it right back if you have enough. IF you watch your sugar intake and keep it low and take 2 of these a day your hunger is extremely manageable and I havent even worked out past doing normal things like walking and Im losing weight.

I bought this originally to help with mood and stress, along with 5-HTP and SAMe. With this combo I noticed a significant improvement in my sleep. Not wanting to pay $50/month for supplements, I decided not to reorder the saffron caps and stick with the other items. It wasn't long before I realized that my sleep was once again restless. Hmmmm...... so I again purchased the saffron caps and not surprisingly my sleep improved again... but this time I also noticed it was a bit easier to stay away from tempting foods, bonus! I was only taking one cap per day but have now increased to two caps as recommended to see if it curbs my cravings and hunger even more. Worth a try. My first purchase was a different brand but similar price.

I bought this for my husband who has been up and down with depression for years. We read about natural remedies and decided to give this a try. I only give him one capsule in the morning, not the daily dose of two. And he drinks it down with a glass St. John's wort tea and takes one htp-5 tablet. I wasn't sure if I was seeing results, but after a few weeks, he seemed much more relaxed, his appetite came back (so I'm not really sure about the appetite suppression), and he was great. I wasn't sure which ones were most helpful, but I ran out of saffron twice in 9 months, and the week without it, his behavior and mood went from high to extremely low, and same once when I ran out of tea. The htp-5 showed no difference in mood when I ran out, but he still takes it, just in case. Back with the saffron and tea, there is a 100 percent turn around in mood, he functions like a person who is okay with life. I also give him the saffron because it is supposed to help with alzheimer's symptoms. He is at very high risk of developing alzheimer's, so we do whatever we can to prevent it. I'm not a medical professional, but I recommend this supplement as part of a natural way to help with depression symptoms. I gave it 4 stars because he hates taking them, they are big and taste and smell funny. I tried taking them for a couple days once, I didn't enjoy the taste. I noticed a slight difference in scent from one bottle to the next, too. He might have better results if he took the recommended amount, but one tablet a day is really enough to balance him out. On the note of appetite suppression though, when he's down, he loses his appetite and doesn't eat, or eats very little. So that fact that he's happy and can eat normally is a good thing for us. If you are an emotional eater, it may help (I'm not a medical professional) with mood eating.

Unfortunately, this increased my appetite. I was afraid to stay on it longer than a week, so I'm only reporting on a week's usage. A product does not necessarily work the same for everyone.

I have been looking for a Standardized Saffron supplement and was pleased to find this one. The price is reasonable and the product good!!

I don't really notice any difference after a month or two of taking these. I do often burp up the capsules contents after eating, even though I take prior to. That can be quite unpleasant. The capsules of this product seem weak and may release the contents too soon. I haven't had this problem with other powdered supplements.

I just recently read about Saffron Extract and all its health benefits, so I decided to add this to the daily supplements I take.While I didn't necessarily buy this for weight loss, I did notice less cravings that usually hit me every afternoon which make me scrounge around the office and regret that my company removed the candy machine. I think I can contribute that to this Saffron Extract I have now been taking twice daily - in the morning and evening.

I liked the brand of saffron so much I ordered a second bottle before I even ran out. Made me feel better. Will buy it again when I run out and would like to try some of their other products.
