The science of 'happiness
Many of us go through periods of intense emotions and many unavoidable stresses. Being happy and remaining emotionally balanced means better appreciating the overwhelmingly positive emotions we receive in contrast to the negative emotions we tend to amplify through an increasingly well understood cognitive reflex called negativity bias.
An exposure and a concern for one in two people.
Our lifestyles are returning to the search for a complex balance between work, family, relationships and personal health. Faced with such a challenge, each of us experiences mood swings and rough patches here and there, the most severe effects of which can be erased.
The active molecules of Saffron
First of all, Safranal is the main contributor to the effects attributed to Saffron in general. It is its objective concentration that ensures the effectiveness of Saffron ω.
Crocin is a carotenoid that gives Saffron its unique colour. The effects of crocin are increasingly being studied and are now established independently of Safranal.
The biochemical precursor of Safranal, picrocrocine, makes it possible to constitute a reserve that can be released later.
Finally, other metabolites such as crocetin and kaempferol have been shown in animal models to significantly reduce anxiety in situations of intense stress.
An inhibitory action on certain key stress hormones
Mood changes directly stimulate the synthesis of cortisol, a key hormone associated with stress and its consequences. Safranal is especially involved in controlling cortisol levels, as reported in a clinical study.
This level of Cortisol then induces changes in the mood regulators called neurotransmitters. In particular, it reduces the activation of serotonin, which is essential to counterbalance the tensions produced by the environment.
Safranal balances the activation of neurotransmitters responsible for excitation (Dopamine and Glutamate) and inhibition (GABA & Serotonin)
Safr'InsideTM : a technical solution based on a rational scientific approach
Most of the studies on which claims of Safran's effectiveness are based are based on concentrations of 2% Safranal. However, these are established on the basis of UV analyses which often tend to overestimate this proportion.
This results in a real rate that is sometimes 10 times lower and the difficulty of reliably analysing the presence of secondary metabolites, which is a factor in the effectiveness of the active ingredient.
Safr'Inside Standard Saffron Extract
Safranal (UV) 2% 2%
Safranal (U-H PLC) 0.25% 0.02
The concentrations by Safr'Inside™ are validated by a proprietary and published ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (U-HPLC) analytical method. Superior to the UV 3632 method, U-HPLC ensures that the 25 most volatile compounds such as safranal, crocines, crocetines, picrocrocines, kaempferols and their derivatives are distinguished. Called Safromotivins, they are all involved in the efficacy of Safran ω .
