Saffron may not be the first herb that comes to mind when you think of mood-lifting supplements. Yet it’s one of the most rigorously researched. Just beware: not all saffron on the market is genuine.

Saffron, often referred to as “botanical gold,” is frequently adulterated with inexpensive plants, minerals, or artificial substances due to its costly nature. That’s why Natural Factors uses only Affron saffron extract, a 100% pure source of standardized Spanish saffron extract that has been DNA certified for authenticity and has undergone study in multiple clinical trials.
