Saffron extract is a botanical medicine from the flower of the crocus sativus plant. It is commonly used as a spice but it has a lot of medical benefits for the body.
Some of its benefits are:
- Saffron is rich in antioxidants. Some of these are safranal, crocin, and picrocrocin. These antioxidants will provide your body with the necessary protection from free radicals that cause harmful effects, such as aging and the development of illnesses. It will also make your skin look young, glow, and fresh.
- Aids in increasing and stimulating the hormones called serotonin and dopamine. This helps stabilize your mood so you can feel better every day.
