Saffron Day 2 - Have to stop

Original post in this thread

AlphaWave247 · 3 points

Sharing for anyone else who is curious about this product, or needs a different perspective. I've been using two other brands, one primarily but was curious about this brand. I take saffron primarily to help with insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Although undiagnosed, I believe the underlying issue is bipolar 2. For those of you in that boat, you know that racy feeling that guarantees little sleep and excitability. Getting that after just two doses, and haven't had it since I began taking saffron (other brands) last March. I can say it really helped with sociability, and difficulty speaking, just the effort it normally takes to get words out where it seems forced. My eyes are usually half shut but are now wide open, super alert and focused. My senses feel overall heightened, also almost a mild euphoria.

I do plan on emptying all the capsules in a jar, and adding a sprinkle to my previous brands/dosing to see if I can get some of the good, without any of the bad. I suspect the 1% safranal is the culprit for the overexcitability. This would also be a great supplement for me to take as needed, for times of bad depression, or when needing to be social. Will take a few days to reset…

Yeah, I would not describe our saffron as calming. It's actually stimulating. I certainly wouldn't suggest taking it for insomnia. What brand did you take that was calming? I will buy some and analyze it. That way we can determine what actives/lack of actives are giving those effects.

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.
