Pure Saffron Extract And Your Weight-Loss Blues

By Craig Vore


Trying to lose weight can be a difficult task, especially if you don't know how to properly control your cravings and appetite. This can be a bigger challenge to overcome in today's era of technology and fast food. No wonder the people falling under the obese category is increasing each day. So if you really are serious about shedding those extra pounds, you may want to check out this supplement made from pure saffron extract.

Saffron is commonly associated with cooking because it is used as a spice and coloring agent. The plant that produces saffron is called Crocus sativus, specifically by drying the flowers' stigma. Making just a pound of this spice will need about 75,000 blossoms of Crocus sativus and the harvesting process requires extensive labor. It's not surprising why this spice is among the most expensive in the world.

As a supplement, pure saffron extract has gained a lot of public exposure after it was mentioned in the show of the renowned Dr. Oz. You may recognize Dr. Oz as one who has always recommended the use of natural supplements in order to address many health issues, and weight loss is among the most talked about these days. And when Dr. Oz speaks about weight-loss supplements, you can really see just how many people pay attention.

If you're wondering why pure saffron extract is being considered as an excellent weight-reducing supplement, it is because of its ability to increase the levels of serotonin in your body. Take note that serotonin is the hormone that acts as your body's natural appetite suppressant. Experts claim that people with higher levels of serotonin are able to control their cravings and appetite better, not to mention having better overall moods, quality sleep, and higher self-esteem.

With saffron extract supplementation, it becomes easier to manage emotional stress of all sorts because you have higher amounts of serotonin in your body. You'll be able to notice that you're not craving for sugar foods that much anymore. A recent study involving a group of women reveals that those who took saffron extract were able to decrease their appetite by as much as 84%. It also kept them from snacking frequently since they had a longer feeling of fullness.

Pure saffron extract also has applications for a wide variety of health problems including asthma, heartburn, intestinal gas, whooping cough, and dry skin. Men having problems with premature ejaculation or lack of sex drive can benefit from this supplement as well. There are also experts who claim that it makes an excellent aphrodisiac. Women who are experiencing premenstrual syndrome and menstrual cramps are recommended to take this supplement too.

Prior to purchasing any brand of saffron extract, you may want to consider some factors to help ensure that you get a quality product. First, it must be made from no less than 100% pure saffron extract and devoid of any binders, fillers, or any artificial stuff. The product must also be manufactured in a laboratory that has been registered by the FDA and following the GMP guidelines. You should also consider products that offer at least 200mg of saffron extract per serving.

If you haven't already noticed, Dr. Oz did not state any specific brand of pure saffron extract. Immediately keep away from any products claiming to have bee endorsed by Dr. Oz. It would also be beneficial on your part to look for reviews and testimonials on the product before your make a purchasing decision. Try looking for online stores that offer a money-back guarantee for their products. If you're lucky, you might even find a store that offers a free trial.
