The Naked Pharmacy - Saffrosun Saffron Extract with Vitamin B12 Supplement - 60 Capsules - Triple Strength Bioactives, for Restful Sleep, Emotional Balance - Food Sourced and Vegan

I read an article about the benefits of saffron for people with ADHD. My son is autistic with ADHD traits so we thought we'd give it a go! It took about a week to notice any difference but they definitely seem to be helping him to stay calmer. My husband and I have hectic work/lives and have also started taking them and we have also found that we feel less stressed/anxious. I now have these on subscribe and save.

My 6 yr old has been on these for around 3 weeks now and I have noticed an improvement in his mood swings. He's way less explosive, can express his emotions without getting so angry and also bedtimes are so much easier now. We used to battle for over an hr to get him to sleep because he was so anxious and full of nervous energy, but the last week he has been getting in bed and sleeping within minutes. Worth a try!!

Easy to swallow.

I initially purchased these for my son who has ADHD and suffers with anxiety and poor sleep. He didn’t want to start chemical anti-depressants (SSRI’s) and having read the research on saffron in relation to having the same outcome as ssri meds without the side effects I thought it was worth a try. I’m medical myself so I like to base my decisions on science and research. I expected them to take a few weeks to make any improvements but was shocked to see a noticeable difference within a few days. My son reported a significant improvement in levels of anxiety along with better sleep. This continued improving over the first month so I gave them a try myself, having struggled with low mood and lack of motivation. Again within a few days I felt noticeably better. I feel calmer, happier, more resilient and my sleep has improved. I initially felt a bit sleepy through the day so started to take them in the evening rather than in the morning which works perfectly. I did try a cheaper brand which did not have the result this product has had. The only reason this has lost a star for me is the price. This is £20 for 30 tabs. The daily dose is 2 capsules so one small bag last a month. With both of us taking it that’s £40 a month (cheaper if you subscribe or buy the larger pack) which is a significant expense. However, for me it’s a price I’m happy to pay for the improvements my son and I have experienced. My review does not constitute medical advice, only my own experience. A google of “saffron versus SSRI research results” will bring up all the info you need to help your decision, but I would absolutely recommend this product.

These are great but just wish they made one without vit D for the spring and summer months. It's important to stop taking vit D supplements in spring and summer and I can't find an alternative that works for my son.
