Natural Factors Stress-Relax Affron Saffron Extract 28 mg, 30 Vegetarian Capsules

High quality product that improves mood.

I previously bought a different brand of Saffron and noticed no difference. Similar to the L-theanine I take, this has a registered ®️ trademark for Affron. I believe this guarantees you the product is as claimed. I have been able to sleep and have had a reduction in my anxiety. I take it at night before I go to sleep, but have also noticed a difference during the day in my overall mood.

I am in the nutritional supplement industry.Saffron's use as a "sleep aide" is based on 14 mg, at night, 1-hour before going to bed (specifically the branded ingredient called affron).This product uses 2x that dosage. So this may NOT be what you want to use as a sleep aide.Given that it says right on the front of the label that it "Supports mood, relieves stress, and promotes relaxation", it might work best if taken sometime during the day.In the end, the only way to know for sure if it will help you is to experiment with the time of day you take it, and see for yourself.Perhaps you have a job / family / personal issue that causes you to be stressed out. If so, take it say 1 to 2 hours BEFORE you know or expect to get stressed. It might help keep you calmer.If you suffer from low moods early in the day, then take it at breakfast time, and see if your mood improves. If your mood tanks after lunch, try taking this at lunch time.It is entirely possible that your DIET is causing your problems!It is well known that caffeine, sugar and white flour can all take a toll on your mood, and cause you to get wound up (stressed and/or unable to relax). These substances have a very NEGATIVE impact on your brain.This point cannot be "stressed" too much (pun is intended).If you find you need any combination of these to help you "make it though the day", try going 2-3 days without them, and see if that helps you feel less stressed / unable to relax / feel depressed.Sugar and/or caffeine can easily get your mind "worked up".Give this product a full bottles' time to judge its effectiveness.I hope this helps you make informed buying / using decisions.

I ran out of this jewel of a supplement a while ago. I decided to try it again. I’m glad I did. I slept better the first dose and have felt calmer and a sense of letting go (some) of a recent huge loss.

so i took this brand because it has the actual Saffron dossage that has been studied aka Affron or stigma extract 28 mg (3.5 Lepticrosalides). which is what i look for everytime i take a nootropic, to make sure that the dosage and active ingredients are the ones that were studied...but the price is wayyy too high. almost twice the price of other brands with the exact same composition.

All of my kids take this to help with their behavior. It allows for them to be able to think rationally and not storm off when we tell them no

I use this Saffron for regulating mood and it does make a difference. I buy from this company because they regulate the product, ensuring that what you buy is what you get. Highly recommended!

I tried "Stress-Relax Affron Saffron Extract" for 10 days now, and I noticed that I fall asleep faster, sleep better and longer. I think it takes time to get the best results.
