Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been using this brand of saffron for about three months and am on my fourth order. This feels like TMI, but I’m sharing this for those who struggle with depression. I use one nice sized pinches two times per day for depression and anxiety. If you haven’t heard of this used as medicine, I recommend you head over to the NCBI database and do your own research. But to sum up, in a double blind study versus Prozac, saffron was able to give 75% of the study participants the same benefits as Prozac without the unwanted side effects. There is still more research needed to verify these results, but I figured I’d give it a shot since there are no notable side effects from a couple pinches of saffron every day. I had already coordinated with my doctor and tapered off Zoloft under his constant supervision. (That’s super important to do! Don’t just stop your meds and start eating saffron like an ignorant fool. It’s dangerous and you might end of doing something regrettable because of it. Going off Zoloft was really really hard and I definitely needed the support of my doctor to do it.) Removing the favored antidepressant and anti anxiety medicine left me feeling pretty bad. I was open to a natural remedy and had pretty low expectations. I sought out a reasonably priced but highest quality saffron since I intended to use this as medicine. This saffron has yet to disappoint in its quality. It has great shape, color, and aroma. As far as medicinal quality, HOLY COW! I’m definitely one of the fortunate 75% that completely benefits from this remedy. I get noticeably blue when I skip a dose. I have in fact changed my whole diet to two green smoothies a day just so I can incorporate the two pinches (and lost 20 pounds!) so if you are looking to replicate these results, this is an excellent brand to purchase and you will need to be sure to a) find a way to get it eaten twice a day realistically and consistently and b) make sure you don’t run out. Now that I know how often I need it, I’m most likely going to do a subscription of 2g every 2-3 weeks.
