Saffron
Mental overload: how to recognise the signs and ease the pressure
You’re exhausted, even though nothing major has happened....






CLINICAL STUDIES
Saffron, known by its scientific name Crocus sativus, has been valued for millennia for its multiple therapeutic benefits. Recent clinical studies have highlighted its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its positive impact on mood and mental health, making it a promising candidate for supporting symptoms of depression and anxiety.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that supplementing with 30 mg of saffron extract for 8 weeks improved emotional well-being in healthy adults experiencing subclinical feelings of low mood, anxiety, and/or stress. The same study observed that saffron extract reduced depression scores and enhanced social relationships by the end of the trial, suggesting an improvement in subclinical depressive symptoms in healthy individuals (Jackson et al., 2021).

Research suggests that saffron has effects similar to current antidepressant medications but with fewer reported side effects. These benefits are believed to come from saffron’s active compounds, primarily crocin and safranal (Shafiee et al., 2018).
A meta-analysis confirmed that saffron supplementation leads to a significant reduction in scores on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), without affecting C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. This suggests a decrease in depression and anxiety symptoms without impacting systemic inflammation (Ghaderi et al., 2020).
These clinical studies indicate that saffron could be an effective intervention for managing symptoms of depression and anxiety, offering a natural alternative to conventional treatments. Additionally, vitamin B6, essential for the optimal functioning of the nervous and immune systems, helps reduce fatigue and supports mood by contributing to serotonin synthesis. Together, saffron and vitamin B6 form a powerful duo to support mental health and overall well-being.

SCIENCE
Mood regulation is a neurobiological process involving brain structures such as the amygdala (emotion processing) and the prefrontal cortex (regulation of emotional responses and decision-making). Neurotransmitters like serotonin (often referred to as the "happiness hormone") and dopamine, which is linked to the brain’s reward system, play a key role in mood modulation. A disruption in these systems, often triggered by stress or psychological disorders, can lead to a persistent sense of discomfort, sadness, and apathy.
Dysphoria, characterised by a consistently disturbed mood, is closely linked to imbalances in these neurotransmitters. Serotonin directly influences well-being and satisfaction, while dopamine affects motivation and the perception of pleasure. Prolonged irregularities in neurotransmitter signalling can reduce emotional resilience, impair stress management, and lower engagement in daily activities.
Circadian rhythms, or the body’s internal clock, regulate sleep cycles, wakefulness, mood, and behaviour, playing a crucial role in mental health. These rhythms are controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus, which synchronises our internal clock with the day-night cycle based on ambient light. Disruptions such as shift work, jet lag, or stress can desynchronise these rhythms.
Vitamin B6, essential for the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine, is key to maintaining mood balance, and a deficiency can disrupt this equilibrium. Saffron has also been shown to have positive effects on the serotonergic system and may help alleviate symptoms of dysphoria, enhancing mood and contributing to overall well-being.
