5.0 out of 5 stars Great price on a natural product to assist your eyes
Well, saffron has now been shown to assist in eye health and possibly slow down the effects for macular degeneration. I take it because my eyes are aging and it’s a natural way to give them a little help. This is a very affordable product and worth trying for a few months at this price. It’s an extract and it’s at the proper dose for eye health. Read about it as it has many other benefits also and maybe you’ll want to add it to your natural supplements too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trial run
I’ve used them for a few days. I feel as though there is definitely a benefit as far as appetite suppression. I would not say I feel a major difference as far as mood, however I certainly could tell the difference in appetite. I plan to continue to use them and assess for additional benefit. I would say a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saffron extract— 177 mg per serving
Do your research on saffron. Know who should, and who should NOT supplement with saffron!If you do decide to supplement with saffron this way, it has many health benefits and this is a good way to add them to your health routine!DO read the warnings and the label; do internet research, and also consult with your trusted health expert before you take saffron in this form.I have decided to add saffron to my health supplementation regimen, and so I am delighted to have this product as a resource to help me toward these goals.The bottle is shrink wrapped and tightly sealed to protect against tampering. The expiration date and lot number are clearly marked on the bottle. I received my bottle of saffron in September 2022 and the expiration date extends to June 2025, so it is fresh and will have a long unopened shelf life.Horbaach is a recognized and reputable company for supplements.After researching and consulting, if you determine saffron is a safe addition to your health regimen, this is a good choice!

5.0 out of 5 stars good saffron in easy to take capsules
This saffron comes in relatively small, easy to take capsules. The powder is golden which seems appropriate and suggests that it really is saffron. Each cap contains the standard 88.5 mg but you can take 2 to get the 177 mg. I’ve used Horbach supplements in the past with good results so I’m reasonably confident that this is a good product as well. To date I have taken it with no problems. They seem to help with many things including eye health and appetite control. I like these a lot.

It is made by a USA based company and the expiration date is three years into the future. I am excited to be able to use this product! Well recommended!

This product really does help soften the effects of depression …you have to combine efforts of positive thought along with these saffron capsules to gain full effectiveness. But it definitely helps if used consistently. Get a subscription, take EVERYDAY, wait 2-3 weeks and you should feel better. No doubt about it in my experience. Worth the investment!

4.0 out of 5 stars Reducing depression…
I got this herbal supplement for two reasons. One for the benefits of helping with depression and creating a better mood. With all this going on in my life over this past year with me… The death of several loved ones and friends, major renovations going on, a few health issues. I was trying to find something that could help me relax more.I’ve noticed over the last couple of days when I go to physical therapy, I seem to have a spring in my step, and a little bit more joy. So maybe this supplement is working out for me.Also anything to help aid with the diet, and reducing weight I am all for it! I have experienced any adverse reactions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Saffron is a powerful antioxidant.
These capsules contain saffron extract plus an active ingredient as you can see on the label. Saffron is an antioxidant with many benefits. According to a Healthline article, “studies found that taking 30 mg of saffron daily was just as effective as Fluoxetine, Imipramine, and Citalopram — conventional treatments for depression. Additionally, fewer people experienced side effects from saffron than from other treatments.”That 30 mg dosage is less than the 88.5 mg that is in each of these capsules. I’m not sure why the directions say to take two capsules a day, but I suppose if you need antioxidants to fight cancer, you may want a high dose, but ask a health professional. Saffron is not advised during pregnancy because there is some evidence it could cause a miscarriage at high doses.

4.0 out of 5 stars I take Saffron for it’s many health benefits
Saffron Extract Capsules | 177 mg 60 Count | Non-GMO, Gluten Free Supplement | by HorbaachI’ve been taking one 88.5 mg of Saffron daily for many years. Two of the benefits I take the supplement for is to help with appetite and to help with mood and I think I do notice those benefits. I decided to try this brand of the supplement and it seems to be working just fine. The directions say to take TWO capsules for 177 mg of the extract but for now I am still taking one capsule. For that reason this supplement will last me 120 days at ONE capsule a day although at some point I think I will give the higher dose a try. The bottle had an outer and inner safety seal and the price for this bottle is very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Non-standardized Saffron with the 3 important constituents: Safranal, Crocin and Picrocrocin
I’ve recently been introduced to Saffron for its many health benefits whuch range from healthy effects on blood pressure, lipids, mood and brain health, it is a powerful antioxidant containing crocin, picrocrocin and safranal (kaempferol is not mentioned in the supplement facts but I would think it would have some presence). It also helps: promote healthy appetitie control, support heart health and healthy blood sugar levels … the list of potential benefits just goes on.GMP seal of assurance and decent pricing make this very attractive to me as something to add to my supplement regime. There are no surprises (as I saw with a different standardized saffron product unfortunately).Everything is simple and straight foward. Capsules are easy to swallow. Minimum effective dose is 30mg/day, so this is a good amount above minimum, yet well below maximum safe dose of 1.5grams/day, so a good sized dose still well within the acceptable range with lots of room to move upwards.Everything looks good to me, and I am truely looking forward to reaping its many benefits over time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saffron may have important health benefits
According to the Cleveland Clinic, saffron may help with depression and have important antioxidant properties. As always, you should consult with your doctor before taking any supplements.I took two capsules on the first day and noticed the appetite suppressant effect and an increase in energy that I decided was more than I needed, so I have cut back to one capsule a day. The capsules are small and easy to swallow. I ordered this in November 22 and it has an expiration date of June 25.UPDATEOne day I was having to power through some work and I was lagging, so I thought I would take a second capsule for extra energy. I can attest to its appetite-suppressant powers; that day I was able to eat only half of what I normally eat.

My grandson turned me on to the benefits of saffron many years ago. He suggested it for keeping my cholesterol under control. My bad cholesterol number was climbing as I aged. With the addition of saffron it’s held steady now for many years with no other changes in my diet or exercise. Check the data for yourself and you may find this helpful to you, too. I only take one cap per day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent appetite suppressant
I understand people take saffron while dieting. I am not dieting but sometimes I have to work unpredictable on call shifts and can’t eat at normal hours. Not allowed to eat on the jobsite, and sometimes I get crazy wanna punch someone in the face hunger pains…When empty stomach rumbling hunger pains occur, it’s hard to stay focused on work tasks. I have learned to deal with it but it is a distraction. Today I took a saffron capsule when I started to feel hungry during the start of a shift. Within 10 minutes, my hunger pain was gone, and I felt great, more focused, and my shift seemed to fly by.The bottle says quick release capsules, and it’s no joke. Saffron was a game changer for me today. I can see why people swear by it while fasting or as a diet aid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy!
Update! It’s Feb 25 and I got this a little over two weeks ago. I’m down 6lbs (from 172 to 166, 5’8”) from last week bc it is still suppressing my appetite. I’m only walking one mile a day, 5 days a week. Nothing too hardcore yet.Original post February 9: I’m not sure how to explain this but I’ll do my best. I took my first dose this morning at 9am and had a normal breakfast eggs and potatoes around 930. Somewhere around 1130 I started to feel really happy. I’ve been stressed out at work lately because of several mean women there, and nothing they said bothered me. If this is how happy normal people feel, I am very jealous that this is how we are supposed to feel! This explains really smiley people, this must be how they feel. It’s almost like how happy I feel when I drink white wine, but without having to drink to achieve it, if that makes sense. I have not a care in the world. Around 1230 a car sped past me with a loud exhaust and almost hit me, which would normally make me very upset. Scared the crap out of me. I was still able to react quickly and avoid it, but I was not as upset as I normally would be on the road. Then around 1pm I got hungry per usual, but then I took my second dose and that went away. I ate a much smaller meal for lunch because I just didn’t feel the need to eat a lot. And still feeling very happy now at 2pm. I’ll update review after a week but it affected me immediately the first few hours of the first day. Also I don’t feel jumpy or antsy, it just feels like calm elevated energy with a smile. No shakes

5.0 out of 5 stars My experience..
I started this product 3 weeks ago. I’m taking 1 pill each morning and doing a 16/8 fast. Where I fast for 16 hours a day and eat whatever I want in 8 hours. I cheat 1 day a week on purpose.The first week I noticed no difference. I gained 2 lbs. The second week I did notice I wasn’t nearly as hungry and I am craving water! I never crave water! I lost 2 lbs. The third week I struggled with boredom eating. I only did the 16/8 fast for 4 days instead of 6. I still lost 1lb. I will buy another bottle and continue my journey.I also suffer from anxiety and depression which I have read that this pill is suppose to help. I’m not sure if it has helped with that or not. I think it’s still to early to tell. I have had no other symptoms other than not being hungry and craving water. The pill is easy to take and doesn’t have a smell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great with Lexapro
I’m on 5 mg Lexapro and needed a little more support, but didn’t wanna raise my dosage and have side effects. My libido is precious to me as it’s a bit low while breastfeeding, and at 5 mg, thankfully I still have it. These capsules give me an energy boost and synergizes (is that a word?) very well with the lex. The energy also translates to the bedroom in a great way.

I would give it 0 stars if I could. The very next day after taking one only pill I was sick with my stomach. Nausea, pain, bloating… My husband had the same reaction on the supplement. We always react differently on food, supplements, ect… But this time both were sick. Stopped taking it and felt normal in 3-4 days.I was very excited about this supplement. But turned out it’s not good for me

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality Product
Saffron has lots of health benefits. The product contains quality product in terms of packaging, ease of consumption and value for money. Since it comes in powder form. There is no way a consumer like you and me can vouch for purity and authenticity but based on packaging and user friendliness, initial impression is a quality product.

4.0 out of 5 stars High Dosage, Many Benefits, Reasonable Price
First of all, I almost didn’t get this item. It was misdelivered to the wrong address! Luckily, my mail carrier found out to whom it was delivered and retrieved it for me. Second of all, amongst all the shuffle, I already took off the outer seal and inner seal(but just wanted to let you know that it was double sealed for protection). I like that these are a higher dose than others, with a maximum recommended dose one can go up to 1.5grams, and 5grams is a level that can cause poisoning. I am not sure how many milligrams are in 1 gram. The bottle suggests taking two capsules(with food) which is 177mg. And the bottle has 60 capsules so that is one month’s worth. The capsules are easy to swallow. I just started taking them, so I can’t attest to any of the stated benefits yet. That is why I only gave it 4 stars. But, Saffron is known to help with: depression, weight loss, cough, asthma, whooping cough, and to loosen phlegm. It can also help with sleep problems, hardening of the arteries, gas, Alzheimer’s, heartburn, PMS, cramps, premature ejaculation, fertility, and is an aphrodisiac. Some side effects from Saffron include: dry mouth, anxiety, dizziness, drowsiness, change in appetite, and headache. High doses can cause: vomiting, bloody diarrhea, dizziness, bleeding from the nose, lips, and eyelids, numbness, and other serious side effects. I didn’t notice any weird smell of these capsules. The prices is very reasonable.

4.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good
I had been hearing about the benefits of saffron extract and figured I’d give it a try. When these arrived, they were double sealed, the capsules are easy to swallow, and you are supposed to take 2 capsules with food. 60 come in a bottle, so this will last you one month, so the price is decent for a one month supply.I took these to see if it would boost my energy- I have that 2pm slump, and it would be nice to keep a nice, consistent energy level throughout the day where I’m not depending on energy drinks. After a few weeks, I’ve noticed I’m less dependent on the energy drinks I was once dependent on. That’s a massive improvement for me! My energy level is pretty consistent and overall, I feel pretty happy and positive all day.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than my prior attempts at Saffron supplementation
I had read about saffron and began taking a saffron supplement last year, but saw little to no effect. I tried again with this product and – although small – I have noticed more benefit.While taking this, I have slept slightly better and noticed improved ability to manage appetite. I can’t identify any specific improvement from the antioxidants, but I know that’s where science has identified improvements to health and that these are likely happening on a molecular level and potentially of a long-term nature that I wouldn’t recognize. The combination of the different benefits will keep me taking it.
