Before I review this product I want to share a lil bit background. I used to be a sugar addict until I realized that it's damaging my body more than anything else. I was having a lot of pimples and I was just getting bigger and bigger! I looked puffed! I took my time to understand the science behind it. Dr. Lustig's "The bitter truth about sugar" video on youtube changed my life! I tried different diets from vegetarian and whatnot and now I'm eating mainly protein and fat and I'm trying to eat just once a day like "snake-diet". I combined that diet with very mild exercise and the results transformed my body. Now during this whole process when I was craving food and I was getting moody and frustrated, I added some saffron into the water and drank it when I was hangry because I knew about its Ayurvedic properties. I bought different saffron stuff from this brand before and I'm pleased with all of them. Now that they have saffron extract, I gave it a try and actually it's working good! I just take the pill when I know I'm about to get hungry and it gives me more time. However, I bought this product knowing that there is no magic pill to keep me in shape and I recommend that you do the same. I am losing the last few pounds to finally have a six pack abs. Read more

I've been interested in saffron for its many health benefits and try to include it while cooking. I decided to try saffron supplements to get the most benefit and to try it out as a weight loss aid. I chose Zaffrus saffron extract over others because I've used their other products and know I can expect a high quality product and customer service. The product arrived quickly and as expected.I've been taking the supplement twice a day as suggested on the package for about 2 weeks. The biggest thing I've noticed is a significant decrease in sugar cravings. I love to eat sugar and candy and cookies and realized that these foods rarely cross my mind as a snack craving now. If I do indulge in a sweet snack, I feel satisfied after one or two bites, instead of wanting to just keep eating more. I do also feel that if taken before meals as suggested, I have a tendency to feel full sooner and have less desire to keep eating. I also find it easier to wait longer between meals instead of constantly snacking. Read more

I usually take Saffron in the form of threads or powder in my breakfast tea or milk and I have already seen its miraculous effect in my mood and weight loss. I have been able to clean my diet and control my food craving all thanks to Saffron. I go to gym every day and do heavy weight lifting and I don't believe in fat burners or any other weight loss pills because most of them bring heavy side effects, but when I saw this all natural Saffron extract, I thought to give it a shot. I am taking it for almost two weeks and it helped me to lose 5 pounds in such a short amount of time. I am satisfied with mood boosting effect and the fact that it does not cause any jitter or heart raise for me. Read more
