Summary
- Saffron supports both mood and sexual function, addressing a common problem where depression treatments often blunt intimacy
- Clinical trials show a daily 30-milligram dose of saffron reduces depression symptoms at a level similar to common antidepressants used for mild to moderate depression
- Unlike many psychiatric drugs, saffron improves erectile function, arousal, lubrication, and sexual satisfaction instead of worsening them
- Saffron works best when underlying stressors such as inflammation, poor cellular energy production, and gut imbalance are addressed at the same time
- Consistent daily use for six to eight weeks, combined with stable sleep, movement, sunlight, and a low-seed oil diet, produces the most reliable results
