Saffron and Rhodiola extract: vitamins and the phytochemicals safranal and rosavin

Safran Blüte
Description
Safran

Saffron

Saffron is a species of crocus and belongs to the iris family (Iridaceae). The tuberous plant produces blossoms, each with a three-petaled, yellow-colored pistil, also calles style or stigma, which is world-famous as a spice. Around 150,000-200,000 blossoms or 700,000 pistils are needed for one kilogram of this spice. Saffron is mainly grown in Iran and Afghanistan but also in Europe in the Mediterranean region. The plant only blooms once a year in autumn and can be harvested in a period of two weeks. 

Apart from its usage as a spice in dishes, saffron is also used as a dye for clothing. Carotenoids, especially crocin and carotene, are responsible for the strong colour. The intense aroma is produced by essential oils. The monoterpene-aldehyde safranal plays a significant role in that. In addition, saffron contains numerous flavonoids, i.e. phytochemicals. Saffron was already being used in ancient times and Hippocrates already spoke of its positive effects. In China and in India saffron has been known for 2000 years. Modern science continously researches the possitive effects of saffron. 

 

Rhodiola

The Rhodiola rosea L. belongs to the family of the thick-leaf plants (Crassulaceae). It is five to 35cm high and has a rose-like smell. Due to its rose-like smell the Swedish botanist Carl von Linné, named it Rhodiola rosea. Rhodiola, also called rose root, has been recommended in Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and Asia for stress, exhaustion and overload in daily life for a very long time. In Scandinavia, the Baltic States and Russia, Rhodiola has also been used for nutritional science.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Dr. Wolz’s Saffron + Rhodiola Extract is a dietary supplement containing high-quality extracts of saffron and rhodiola, also known as golden root. The formula is supplemented with vitamin C, vitamin B12 and pantothenic acid. This combination provides selected plant-based ingredients and phytochemicals such as safranal from saffron and rosavin from rhodiola.

Safran Rhodiola Extract is the ideal daily support for:

  • People going through mentally demanding periods or times of stress (e.g. at work, whilst studying, or when facing multiple family pressures).
  • People looking for a way to help maintain their natural mental stamina and inner calm in everyday life.
  • People who wish to support their normal psychological function and emotional balance through nutrition during the darker months of the year or during emotionally demanding periods.

If you are already taking prescription medication to improve your mood (such as SSRIs or other antidepressants), you should definitely consult your doctor before taking saffron and rhodiola extract.

The nutrients it contains (such as vitamins C and B12) are available to the body for nerve metabolism and mental function immediately after ingestion. To fully benefit from the combination with the plant extracts of saffron and rhodiola as part of your daily diet, it is recommended that you take the supplement continuously and regularly over a longer period of at least 2 to 4 weeks. This allows the body to integrate the nutrients optimally into its daily metabolism.

No. The formula has been specifically designed to support normal mental function and the nervous system in everyday life without impairing alertness. On the contrary: the vitamins C and B12, as well as pantothenic acid, actively help to reduce tiredness and fatigue, whilst pantothenic acid also supports normal mental performance. Your natural energy and mental clarity throughout the day are therefore fully maintained.

No. As this product is based on natural plant extracts and essential vitamins, it is designed to specifically supplement your daily diet. It can be taken regularly over the long term without any problems and does not lead to a build-up of tolerance, which would require an increase in the daily intake.
