Hey, guys!
I've read that Saffron can potentially help with Anxiety, mild-depression, and ADHD.
I've been taking ND's Saffron capsule 30MG once daily in the morning that has 7.5% Crocins and 1% Safranals.
Here's what I've noticed:
\- I feel significantly calm, like how I felt when I took Buspirone for 6 months, maybe even more calm than that.
\- I can focus better, and my constant racing thoughts have slowed significantly down. It's actually hard for me now to think of things in the past that I would overthink and cause me to have anxiety.
\- Within 30 minutes of taking a capsule, I feel a rush of energy coming on (heart beats faster than usual) then goes away and the energy turns into a calm, focused energy.

Honestly, Emiel's suggestion is a very good one. Stack our black ginger with it. It will help round it out a lot, and bring that dopamine energy back to the serotonin of the saffron. You need that. If you want a single stack with both, our Berbelean has both saffron and black ginger, with some other stuff in there for metabolic health. If you just wanted to take one product, that would be a good one to build a base stack off of.
