Overview

1 Body Saffron 8825 primarily relies on Safranal for its purported benefits. While Safranal is a key active component, the product specifies Safranal as the ingredient at a high dose of 88.5mg per serving, rather than a standardized saffron extract. Most clinical research on saffron's benefits uses whole saffron extract, typically with a standardized percentage of its various active compounds, including Safranal, often in the 30-100mg range for the extract itself. The direct efficacy of 88.5mg of isolated Safranal, without the synergistic effects of other saffron compounds, is not as well-established as the efficacy of whole saffron extract. While Safranal contributes significantly to saffron's effects, the lack of a whole extract with its full spectrum of compounds might alter the expected benefits.

The Good

High dose of Safranal, a key active compound from saffron.

Backed by research for mood and anxiety support (when part of a saffron extract).

Antioxidant properties contribute to overall health.

The Bad

Concentration of isolated Safranal at 88.5mg is higher than typically found in effective saffron extract dosages, and direct efficacy/safety for this specific isolated dose is less researched.

Relies on isolated Safranal rather than a full-spectrum saffron extract, potentially missing synergistic effects.

Potential for mild gastrointestinal side effects.
