The science of "happiness
Many of us go through periods of intense emotions and many unavoidable stresses. Being happy and staying emotionally balanced means better appreciating the overwhelming majority of positive emotions we receive in contrast to the negative emotions we tend to amplify through a better understood cognitive reflex called negativity bias.
An exposure and concern for one in two people.
Our lifestyles are returning to the search for a complex balance between work, family, relationships and personal health. In the face of such a challenge, each of us experiences mood swings and rough patches, 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 color. The effects of crocin are now being studied more and more independently of Safranal.
Biochemical precursor of Safranal, picrocrocine allows 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 inhibiting 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 decreases the activation of serotonin, which is essential to counterbalance the tensions produced by the environment.

Safr’InsideTM : une solution technique basée sur une approche scientifique rationnelle
Most of the studies on which the claims of Safran's effectiveness are based are based on concentrations of 2% Safranal. However, these are based on UV analyses which often tend to overestimate this proportion.
This results in a real rate sometimes 10x lower and the difficulty to analyze in a reliable way the presence of secondary metabolites, which is a factor of effectiveness of the active.

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 to distinguish the 25 most volatile compounds such as safranal, crocines, crocetines, picrocrocines, kaempferols and their derivatives. Called Safromotivins, they are all involved in the efficacy of Safran ω .
