Take Out Those Excess Pounds With Pure Saffron Extract

By Dante Sperow


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 can also help to alleviate a variety of health problems such as asthma, intestinal gas, heartburn, whooping cough, dry skin, and menstrual cramps. Men who are suffering from premature ejaculation may also benefit from this supplement. Some experts even believe that it can also act as an aphrodisiac in order to boost one's sex drive. This supplement may also benefit women who are having episodes of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

If you want to buy a saffron-based supplement, make sure that you know what it is to look for in a quality product. Ideally, you want your supplement to made from 100% pure saffron extract, no more, no less. Make sure it doesn't have even the slightest hint of binders or fillers. You may also want to contact the manufacturing company and ask if the laboratory used to produce the supplement has been registered by the FDA and complying with the GMP program.

Despite his recommendations on pure saffron extract, Dr. Oz did not make any endorsements on a specific brand. If you find a product claiming to have been endorsed by him, treat it as a red flag and stay away. For best results, look for reviews and testimonials on the internet and see what people have to say about the product you're looking to buy. And while you're at it, try looking for shops that offer free trials or money-back guarantee on their products as well.
