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 and sleep quiality at low dose) 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.

Results of a new study demonstrate that the standardized affron® saffron extract boosts the body's endogenous production of melatonin. The new study clarifies the mechanism for affron's positive effects on sleep, providing solid scientific support to the previous studies. With affron®, the body can more efficiently generate its own melatonin without the need for melatonin supplements.
