Benefits Everyone knows saffron for its exorbitant price and unique taste. But what is often not known are its exceptional therapeutic properties. Yet not only have they been recognised for a very long time, but they are now more than ever the subject of very serious scientific studies. √ Saffron is recognised for its tonic properties: saffron combats asthenia, fatigue and overwork. √ It also helps with recovery after sport. √ It is also a good antidepressant: thanks to the safranal contained in its volatile parts, saffron acts on the nervous system. √ It treats insomnia, as it is mildly sedative, while also being valuable in cases of mild depression, stress, anxiety and emotional fragility. These are its main therapeutic indications. √ Saffron is also emmenagogue: saffron is indicated in the treatment of menstrual pain. √ The rapeseed oil present in the Safrazen® formula will provide you with plant-derived Omega 3, well known for its beneficial effect on the nervous system. Sourcing Although it grows easily in Europe, 90 % of the saffron consumed worldwide is produced in Iran. It is indeed in this region that the best saffron for medicinal purposes is grown. For saffron, only a standardised extract, meaning one that guarantees a certain content of active principles (crocine, crocoside, safranal…), can achieve the desired effects in therapeutic use.
