When your mood swings – get help from nature

How saffron can bring you back into balance during PMS and the menopause.

When everything becomes too much – and you hardly recognize yourself

You function. You take care of your family, do your best at work and try to be mindful of yourself at the same time. But sometimes it feels like your nerves just won’t cooperate. You get irritable more quickly, restless, sleep less well – and ask yourself: What’s actually wrong with me?

You may have heard of saffron – not only as a fine spice, but also as a plant with an amazing effect on emotional well-being.

Especially in phases of life such as PMS, the perimenopause or the menopause, many women become emotionally unbalanced – often gradually and barely visible to others. And even if you feel it, you are not always taken seriously.

But there are ways to gently support you in times like these. Not with quick fixes, but with natural impulses that can help you feel more stability, calm and inner strength again.

One of these impulses comes from a small, powerful flower: saffron.

Studies show that saffron can have a remarkable effect on mood, stress management and sleep quality.

In this article, you will find out how saffron extract can help you find more inner balance and well-being. All natural.

Saffron – the red gold with a powerful effect

Saffron is one of the oldest and most valuable natural remedies in the world. Even in traditional Persian and Ayurvedic medicine, the “red gold” was used to treat low moods, menstrual cramps and inner restlessness – long before modern science was able to prove its effects.

What makes saffron so special? It is the bright red threads – more precisely: the stigmas of the saffron flower (Crocus sativus L.) – which are filled with valuable bioactive substances such as crocin and safranal. Up to 200,000 hand-picked flowers are needed to produce one kilogram of this precious raw material – harvested in just a few weeks a year, usually in growing regions such as Iran or Morocco.

The high cost, the special processing and the proven effect on emotional balance make saffron a fascinating plant for holistic well-being.

What science says about saffron

Saffron can do more than just add flavor to food. Studies show that it can help to promote emotional balance, alleviate stress reactions and improve sleep quality.

A double-blind study (Noorbala et al., 2005) showed that saffron extract was similarly effective for mild to moderate depression as a classic antidepressant – but without the typical side effects. Further studies confirm the mood-lifting effect (Moshiri et al., 2006), also with plant extracts from the petals.

A study by Jackson et al. (2021) investigated the effect of saffron in stressful everyday situations. The result: saffron can strengthen the mental balance and positively influence the reaction to stress.

Saffron also has potential for sleep: the study by Lopresti et al. (2020) shows that saffron extract can improve the quality of sleep – without any sleep aids or sedative effects. Women in hormonal transition phases in particular report noticeable relief.

Traditionally, saffron is also used for hormonal complaints such as PMS or menopausal symptoms. It can help to alleviate emotional symptoms such as irritability or mood swings. A gentle effect on the libido is also described.

Saffron as a food supplement

If you want to benefit from the positive properties of saffron, you should look for a high-quality, standardized form in food supplements. This is because only controlled extracts contain the relevant active ingredients in an effective concentration – especially safranal and crocin. Sargol-quality saffron is particularly recommended: this comes exclusively from the intense red tips of saffron stigmas, which are particularly rich in active ingredients.

In combination with other plant substances or micronutrients, saffron can be used specifically to gently support mood, hormonal balance and stress management in everyday life. It is important to choose quality over quantity – ideally organic, laboratory-tested and without synthetic additives.

What makes the saffron in Adapto Balance so special

Not all saffron is the same. For Adapto Balance, we use the high-quality organic saffron extract Safr’Inside™ – obtained from hand-picked saffron stigmas in so-called Sargol quality. The cultivation is carried out according to traditional methods, which UNESCO has recognized as intangible cultural heritage.

The patented Tech’Care™ processing ensures that the sensitive active ingredients – especially Safranal – are optimally preserved. That makes all the difference:

• High content of real Safranal (0.2 % HPLC)

Adapto Balance also contains a natural vitamin B complex with vitamin B6. This contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, the functioning of the nervous system and mental stability.
