Saffron
Saffron is a spice made from the dried stigmas of the saffron crocus flower, Crocus sativus.
Also listed as Crocus Sativus, Saffron Extract, Saffron Stigma, Saffron Stigma Extract
The spice is not a measured extract dose
Germany’s Verbraucherzentrale distinguishes normal food quantities from concentrated supplementation and notes that the preparation and dose matter when interpreting studies. A pinch in a meal cannot simply be translated into the milligrams of a standardized study product. 1
