Mood
30mg of Affron®, the patented extract behind the research. The trials ran at 28mg. We put in 30.*
Affron® supports serotonin activity, the brain chemistry behind a steadier mood. In a randomised, placebo-controlled trial of 202 adults over 12 weeks, 72% reported a meaningful improvement (Lopresti, 2025).*
Most saffron on the shelf is an unstandardised pinch. This is the studied dose, on the label.
Stress & Anxiety
100mg of magnesium glycinate, the chelated form, chosen because it absorbs well and is gentle on your stomach. Not the cheap citrate that keeps you near a bathroom.*
Magnesium supports a healthy stress response, and stress is one of the things that depletes it in the first place.*
In a placebo-controlled trial of a standardised saffron extract, serum cortisol fell by day 28 and stayed lower at day 56 (Cureus, 2026).*
Focus & Attention
200mg of L-theanine, the amino acid found in green tea, at the amount the calm-focus research keeps using. Not the 50mg or 100mg that shows up in most stacks.*
It supports relaxed alertness rather than sedation, so it works with your morning coffee instead of against it.*
No caffeine of its own, so there is nothing to crash off at 2pm.
Sleep
L-theanine and magnesium glycinate both support winding down at the end of the day, which is the part most people are actually missing.*
No melatonin and no sedatives, so there is nothing to time, taper or build a tolerance to.
One stick, whenever it suits you. It is not a knockout, and it is not meant to be.
Inflammatory Response
Saffron threads carry crocin and safranal, the carotenoid compounds that give the spice its colour and its smell, and they are what the extract is standardised for.*
Affron® is standardised so every batch carries the same actives, rather than varying with the harvest the way raw saffron does.
Magnesium and B vitamins sit alongside them as ordinary cofactors your body already runs on.*
Appetite & Weight
Zero sugar and no sweetener load, so the daily ritual itself costs you nothing.
The 2pm reach for sugar or another coffee is usually an energy and mood problem, not a hunger one. B6 and B12 support normal energy metabolism, and 200mg of L-theanine takes the edge off without sedating you.*
One orange-cream stick in water, once a day.
Hormonal Balance
Affron® saffron has been trialled specifically in women aged 50 to 70, which is rare. Most mood research is run on a general adult population and left there.*
In a randomised, placebo-controlled trial of 86 women in that group over 12 weeks, 49% saw a meaningful lift in mood (Lopresti, 2026).*
Same 30mg dose, same extract, same one stick a day.
