What is Affron®

?

Affron® is a patented, clinically substantiated saffron extract (backed by 11 clinical studies) that supports mental wellness and helps maintain a healthy mood, even in women experiencing perimenopause. Affron® is widely recognized as the reference saffron for supporting mood, sleep quality, and cognitive health. Across these published studies, researchers have shown that Affron® helps to:

Supports a better emotional state during moments of occasional stress and tension
Maintain a positive mood and supports emotional well-being
Has a positive effect on occasional sleeplessness, and helps promote restorative sleep
Helps positively impact overall mental wellness.

Affron® is the only saffron extract standardized by HPLC to ≥3.5% Lepticrosalides® (US10933110B2), the bioactive complex responsible for driving saffron’s key benefits.

This standardization creates a unique authenticity ‘fingerprint’ defined by precise proportionality ratios between multiple saffron-specific compounds. This fingerprint ensures that the efficacy demonstrated in clinical studies is specific to Affron® and cannot be replicated by generic extracts, even those claiming similar active content
