Honest answers.
Most of our customers wouldn't have called themselves "depressed." They'd have called themselves "less than they used to be." If that's you, saffron has 12 RCTs worth of evidence that something in your serotonin and dopamine system has gone quiet — and that it can come back up. Try a bottle. Ninety days to decide.
At our dose (~18 mg of 10:1 saffron extract per serving), the published research shows no interaction issues. We still recommend you talk to your prescriber before adding anything new. The point of Crocus isn't to replace medication — it's to feel a little more of yourself while you figure things out.
The 2021 perimenopause study saw measurable mood shifts at week 4. Real customers tend to say "weeks 3–6." If you don't notice anything by day 60, return the empty jar.
No. At the daily dose in Crocus, saffron is non-sedating. You can take it morning or evening. We recommend morning — two with your coffee or tea, that's the ritual.
Saffron extract (10:1 ratio, ~18 mg per serving — equivalent to a meaningful daily dose by traditional standards), pectin, citric acid, natural flavor, purple-carrot juice for color. No gelatin, no synthetic dyes, no fillers worth flagging. Vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free.
No. Saffron is contraindicated in pregnancy and nursing. Please wait.
Take it for 90 days. If you don't feel a difference, email us a photo of the empty jar and we'll refund you. We don't argue. The wellness industry has overpromised for too long.
