Key findings from the saffron studies:
Satiereal, a Crocus sativus L extract, reduces snacking and increases satiety in a randomized placebo-controlled study of mildly overweight, healthy women.
60 mildly overweight females participated in this placebo controlled, double blind, randomized clinical trial. Body weight measurements were made over an 8 week period. 31 subjects received Saffron (176mg/day), 29 subjects received placebo. After 8 weeks, the mean snacking frequency was significantly decreased in the Saffron group versus the placebo group (p <0.05).
Key findings:
Saffron extract improved snacking 55% compared to 28% placebo.
Saffron extract decreased appetite 84% compared to 52% placebo.
Saffron extract decreased urge for sugary snacks 78% compared to 46% placebo.

Effects of saffron extract and its constituent crocin on learning behaviour and long-term potentiation.
Saffron extract improved ethanol-induced impairments of learning behaviours in mice, and prevented ethanol-induced inhibition of hippocampal long-term potentiation, a form of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity that may underly learning and memory. This effect of saffron extract is attributed to crocin (crocetin di-gentiobiose ester), but not crocetin. Saffron extract or its active constituents, crocetin and crocin, could be useful as a treatment for neurodegenerative disorders accompanying memory impairment

Study of cytotoxic and apoptogenic properties of saffron extract in human cancer cell lines.
In this study cytotoxic effect of saffron extract was evaluated in HepG2 and HeLa cell lines. Meanwhile role of apoptosis and ROS were explored. Malignant and non-malignant cells (L929) were cultured in DMEM medium and incubated with different concentrations of ethanolic saffron extract.
Saffron could decrease cell viability in malignant cells as a concentration and time-dependent manner. The IC50 values against HeLa and HepG2 were determined 800 and 950 microg/ml after 48 h, respectively. Saffron induced a sub-G1 peak in flow cytometry histogram of treated cells compared to control indicating apoptotic cell death is involved in saffron toxicity. It might be concluded that saffron could cause cell death in HeLa and HepG2 cells, in which apoptosis or programmed cell death plays an important role. Saffron could be also considered as a promising chemotherapeutic agent in cancer treatment in future.

Further examination of antiradical properties of Crocus sativus stigmas extract rich in crocins.
Data for antiradical properties of saffron extract and its bioactive constituents (crocins, crocetin) are limited and poorly discussed in comparison with those of extracts containing potent scavengers.
In the human monocyte system, saffron extracts or free crocetin were found to reduce ROS production as effectively as the phenolic antioxidants. Our findings point out that saffron extracts exhibit a remarkable intracellular antioxidant activity that cannot be revealed using assays repeatedly applied to the evaluation of phenolic-type antioxidants.

Trovo difficile controllare i miei impulsi, soprattutto nel pomeriggio al lavoro quando trovo difficile resistere alle cose dolci. Da quando assumo lo zafferano è più facile resistere, e mi sento molto meno gonfia rispetto a prima. Consegna veloce.

Ich finde es schwierig, meine Triebe zu kontrollieren, vor allem am Nachmittag bei der Arbeit, wenn ich Süßigkeiten nicht widerstehen kann. Seit ich Safran nehme, fällt es mir leichter und ich bin viel weniger aufgebläht als früher. Schnelle Lieferung außerdem
