Saffron? Safran is a common misspelling of saffron.
Saffron is an expensive spice that is also available in the form of a supplement. These supplements are claimed to have several health benefits, such as treating
depression,
insomnia,
asthma, and baldness.
Some early studies have indicated that compounds in saffron may have anti-cancer activity, stimulate the secretion of stomach acids, and
lower cholesterol and
triglycerides. However, more research is needed to conclude that the product is effective for any use.
Possible side effects of saffron include nausea, drowsiness, and
anxiety. In addition, some people may be more likely to experience problems with this supplement than others. For example, if you have
bipolar disorder, liver disease, or kidney disease, you should check with your healthcare provider before taking this product.
