Standardized, consistently dosed. pure Saffron (not extract, but pure crocus) capsules?

Original post in this thread

Hi, ND and u/misteryouaresodumb — I hate to bother, but plz do answer if possible: given your dedication to the noot scene and your determination for purity and always rising standards when you find something that works, have you considered the utility and economic feasibility, re: an idea as simple as a standardized saffron capsule (especially if whole crocus, meaning not an extract, given all saffron extracts I have tried suuuuuck, compared to regular saffron) ?

I would rather buy it from you (at ND), than Mehr saffron, after all. Plus I would stop forgetting or failing to notice when I run out. I have so many fancy empty saffron containers, all empty, in my spice drawer. It should move its way to my noot cabinet!!!

I think it’s worth it,

Given

It isn’t too easy for any given person to weight out a consistent saffron pill, at (anywhere from) 40 to 80 mg (very hard to measure accurately, when measuring out pill to pill; esp with the mess that would be made from breaking dried crocus, leading to potential wasted product if encapsulating as the typical consumer), no greater than 80mg, which I find optimal, and enough to always make me satiated, centered, harnessing my focus.…

What they were answering

If taking daily, I would go down to 40mg.

80mg will show plenty of effects, though.

I'm taking a gram, srubek! I'll say you told me to!

3rd party lab testing for ND?

I have said proper lab testing and quality control is important for the industry. Whether or not that proper lab testing is being done by a 3rd party lab or an in-house lab depends on the specific lab, if they are ISO ce

Any thoughts on offering affron Saffron extract?

I did some trials on that. I wanted to try making our own generic instead. The saffron industry is so full of fraud and fake saffron, it's nuts.
