The 30mg Myth: Finding Your Optimal Saffron Dosage
Episode 35
In today's episode we're pulling back the curtain on the common "take 30mg of saffron daily" advice, often plastered across supplement bottles.
We explain why this figure is not a magical, one-size-fits-all rule, but rather a starting point chosen by researchers largely due to strict insurance policies, institutional review board regulations, and significant budget constraints.
You'll discover that higher doses have been safely tested - sometimes ten times the "standard" dose—and why your personal sweet spot for benefits like mood-lifting and energy-boosting may be between 50mg and 300mg.
Crucially, we discuss why quality is a game-changer and how maximizing saffron’s effects depends more on boosting natural serotonin production through gut health and lifestyle changes than on quantity alone.
