Saffron is a powerful and versatile spice with a long history of use for both its flavor and medicinal benefits. If you're curious about how to incorporate saffron into your daily routine, or have specific questions about its effects, safety, and our products, you're in the right place!

We’ve gathered answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand how saffron can support your wellness journey. From the best ways to consume it to its compatibility with other medications, read on for all the details you need to make the most of saffron's incredible benefits.

Q: How long does it take to notice the effects?

A: While it varies from person to person, the studies show that you can start to feel the mood-boosting benefits of saffron within one hour of consumption. The benefits of saffron are cumulative, so over time, you will experience its full range of benefits—from mental health support (including elevated and more stable mood), relief from inflammation (including pain and bloating), and a more even complexion. We surveyed our customers, and 88% said they experienced a noticeable difference within one hour of consumption.

Q: Do you drink the latte in the morning and the capsule at night?

A: You can choose how to incorporate our products into your life—the most important thing is to find a form that fits into your routine easily so you can consistently take it. If you already have a morning beverage of choice, you may choose to take our Kinder Thoughts® saffron capsules in the morning and wind down at night with the Warm Feelings® saffron latte. If you're looking for a caffeine-free alternative in the morning, you can drink the Warm Feelings® saffron latte and take the Kinder Thoughts® saffron capsules before bed for a deeper, more restful sleep. Adding the Warm Feelings® saffron latte to your morning coffee or matcha is also possible, as it helps prevent the caffeine jitters and other unpleasant side effects some people may experience from coffee.

Regardless, our products are formulated in a way that they will be therapeutic when taken in just one dose but also very complimentary and supportive when taken together throughout the day.

Q: Will the Saffron Latte stain my teeth yellow?

A: The saffron may temporarily cause your tongue or mouth to be slightly yellow, but it will not stain your teeth—in fact, saffron has been used in herbal toothpaste formulations to support the whitening of your teeth over the long term as well as the overall microbiome and inflammatory conditions of the mouth.

Q: Is saffron safe for kids? What product do you recommend for toddlers? 

A: Our Warm Feelings® saffron latte and Kinder Thoughts® saffron capsules are safe for children and have been studied specifically for children starting at age 6. The therapeutic dose starts at 30mg and can be experienced through our capsules and latte powder. (If your littles don’t like swallowing pills, you can always open the capsule and sprinkle it on yogurt or cereal or add it to their juice!)

Q: Is saffron safe to take with other medications?

A: Saffron is generally safe when taken in combination with other pharmaceuticals. However, it is very important to note that when adding any new supplement to your routine, you should speak with your healthcare provider. We believe in individualized care, and every person’s needs and conditions are unique.

Q: Is saffron a natural appetite suppressant? 

A: Research reveals that saffron can help people lose weight by increasing satiety and curbing appetite, which leads to less snacking. Over an eight-week study, women taking saffron supplements felt much fuller, snacked less, and lost significantly more weight than women who took a placebo pill. A similar study found participants taking a saffron extract for eight weeks experienced significantly reduced appetite, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and total fat mass.

Q: Is saffron considered safe while pregnant? 

A: We do not recommend saffron during your first two trimesters of pregnancy, until 37 weeks gestation. However, as we are not healthcare practitioners or providers, we recommend reaching out to your local healthcare practitioner if you are planning on taking THE FULLEST’s supplements during your pregnancy.

Q: Is saffron considered safe while breastfeeding?

A: Saffron has been used for centuries during the postpartum period where most mothers are also breastfeeding their newborns. It is a wonderful supplement to nourish the mother and support her mood and hormones. While saffron is considered generally safe during this period, we always recommend checking in with your healthcare provider prior to starting any supplement routine.

Q: What is THE FULLEST’s sourcing & quality assurance process?
