The inflammatory marker detail caught my attention because it makes the results feel more practical than a one size fits all mood supplement claim.

Interesting that the review keeps separating crocin dominant extracts from safranal enriched ones. Does the mood effect really vary that much by formulation?

Several of thr cited saffron trials hav small samples and potential conflicts of interest lol The evidence is promising but not yet robust enough for clinical recommendations lol
