Affron®

Affron® is a patented, clinically supported saffron extract (Crocus sativus L.) developed to address emotional well-being through a solid scientific foundation. It is standardized to ≥3.5% Lepticrosalides® using HPLC, a group of key bioactive compounds that define its identity and ensure true batch-to-batch consistency. This “chemical fingerprint” guarantees that the results observed in clinical studies are specific to Affron® and reproducible in finished products. Affron® is supported by 12 human clinical studies investigating its role in supporting emotional well-being, helping manage occasional stress, and improving sleep quality across different populations, including adults, adolescents, and women at specific life stages. Its efficacy at low doses (28 mg for mood and occasional stress, and 14 mg for sleep quality) enables the development of competitive formulations with a clear scientific and commercial positioning. Produced through a proprietary low-temperature extraction process, without the use of organic solvents, Affron® preserves its full bioactive profile, ensuring quality, stability, and sustainability. Easy to formulate in capsules, tablets, or gummies, Affron® offers brands a differentiated solution in one of the fastest-growing categories: mental wellness. A saffron extract designed for brands that aim to build products backed by real evidence.
