Keep in mind that setting up and completing clinical studies is not an inexpensive process. The fact that affron® has multiple studies across different health concerns and demographics (ages) should be another reassuring reason to make it part of your daily regimen. Below you will find a brief summary of the topics and results along with a link to the published study for those who like more technical science. Adding to the amazing story behind affron®, the daily dose used in all studies (except for the bioavailability) us a small daily dose of just 28mg. This is another great example of the power behind affron® being a superior saffron extract.
A study published in Journal of Menopausal Medicine evaluated the use of affron® in perimenopausal (early stages or around the time menopause begins) women and its impact on their menopausal complaints.

It is well accepted that if you can’t absorb something, it won’t work. A study done with affron® and published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine not only proved digestion but also absorption of the main active compounds found in affron®. Without digestion and absorption, a saffron product would offer little benefit. We can see from the study that affron® offers you the absorption you need. As if this wasn’t great enough, the study also showed that this process happened in just one hour after taking the affron® supplement. Affron® gets into your body fast to help you with your health needs quickly.
