Saffron's rich phytochemistry makes it a nutraceutical powerhouse, rich in various compounds, including vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and carotenoids like safranal, picrocrocin, crocin and crocetin. Swanson Saffron Extract features Safr’inside™, a patented formulation with highly concentrated safranal to combat daily stress and promote feelings of calm and mental relaxation. Scientists believe safranal works to boost serotonin levels which promotes a positive mood.

Emerging research found that supplemental saffron standardized for consistent levels of the active component safranal offers support for a healthy response to daily stressors. Swanson Saffron Extract conforms to the research standard, delivering 30 mg of 2% safranal extract in each capsule.
