Saffron 8825

Overview

Saffron 8825 provides saffron extract standardized to 0.3% Safranal, which is a key bioactive compound. Clinical research supports the efficacy of standardized saffron extracts for mood enhancement, appetite control, and antioxidant benefits. The dosage of 88.5mg of Safranal per serving, derived from a saffron extract standardized to 0.3% Safranal, translates to approximately 29.5mg of saffron extract per capsule if one assumes the 88.5mg represents the parent extract. If 'Safranal' in the Supplement Facts refers literally to the amount of safranal compound itself (88.5mg) then it would be an extremely high and potentially unsafe dose, as typical effective doses of safranal in saffron extracts are much lower (usually 0.3% of 30-100mg of saffron extract, meaning 0.09mg to 0.3mg of safranal). Assuming the 88.5mg refers to the total saffron extract as implied by the product name 'Saffron 8825' and not just the safranal content within it, then the dosage is within the clinically studied range of 30-100mg/day for mood and other benefits. Given the product is named 'Safranal' in the Supplement Facts it implies it's the isolated compound, this needs further clarification on the label for precise evaluation. However, typical saffron extract dosages for efficacy are around 30-100 mg per day, with standardizations often to 0.3% safranal. If the 88.5mg of Safranal refers to the entire saffron extract, this dose provides robust support for the advertised benefits.
