Saffron Bioactive | Affron® Saffron Extract for Mood & Emotional Wellbeing

30mg Affron® per capsule | Backed by 12 Human Clinical Studies | Once-Daily 

Saffron Bioactive features Affron® — the world's leading patented saffron extract, standardised to 3.5% Lepticrosalides® — to support emotional wellbeing, normal psychological function, and restful sleep as part of a balanced lifestyle.

For centuries, saffron (Crocus sativus L.) has been valued in traditional herbal medicine for its naturally calming and mood-supporting properties. Affron® brings this ancient botanical into the modern era, with more published human clinical research than any other saffron extract available.

What Makes Affron® Different? 

Most saffron supplements are not standardised, meaning the amount of active compounds can vary widely. Affron® is standardised to Lepticrosalides® — the key bioactive markers that have been studied across 12 published human clinical trials — ensuring consistent quality and reliable results with every capsule.

The Active Compounds in Saffron

• Crocin — a naturally occurring antioxidant that supports cellular health
• Safranal — associated with saffron's naturally calming and mood-supporting properties

Frequently Asked Questions 

1. What makes saffron so special?

Saffron, often recognised as the world’s most precious spice, is far more than a culinary ingredient. Extracted from the delicate flower of Crocus sativus, saffron is a powerful botanical known for its mood-balancing, antioxidant, and soothing properties.

Its unique benefits come from three key bioactive compounds:

Crocin – a potent antioxidant that helps neutralise free radicals, supporting overall cellular health and vitality.

Safranal – associated with saffron's naturally calming properties and studied for its contribution to emotional wellbeing.

Picrocrocin – the natural precursor of Safranal, responsible for saffron’s distinctive taste and often missing from lower-cost or low-quality supplements.

Together, these compounds contribute to saffron's reputation as a well-researched botanical for emotional wellbeing.
