Key Benefits
Rich in Antioxidants: Kashmiri Kesar Saffron is packed with powerful antioxidants, including crocin, crocetin, safranal, and kaempferol. These compounds are known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, and neuroprotective properties. Studies have shown that crocin and crocetin in saffron play a role in improving mood, memory, and learning ability.
Enhances Mood and Alleviates Depression: The active compounds in saffron, especially safranal, have been linked to promoting serotonin levels in the brain, which can help elevate mood and combat depressive symptoms. Clinical trials suggest saffron might be as effective as certain conventional treatments for mild to moderate depression.
Supports Visual Health: Saffron has been shown to contain natural compounds that support the health of the retina and visual performance. In studies, daily consumption of saffron was associated with improved visual function in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Aids in Digestion and Appetite Control: Kashmiri saffron can act as an antispasmodic, reducing spasms and aiding in digestion. Additionally, saffron has an appetite-reducing effect, helping in weight management by curbing unnecessary snacking.
