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.
