I love saffron! It’s important to know that it should be consumed only in extremely small quantity, for example 1-2 threads, or it can lead to hysteria and death. Also, people with bipolar should not consume it because by elevating the mood, it can trigger mood swings. I’m not a doctor, so please ask your medical provider and/or do your own research. All opinions are my own. Thanks!
Some guy here on YT has a video with it sprinkled all over his steak, like 20 strands and other people talk about using that much. Others say 3-5 or less like you 🤔
@@FreshUF definitely start very low dosage and see how it goes. I've just discovered saffron myself and on my way to buy it. But as with all medicine and drugs, it won't hurt to start with a micro dose and only go up if you feel like it doesn't work or doesn't work well enough. Be careful!
@@quasa0 I ended up buying the extract capsules. I take one and it seems really subtle, barely notice anything. It’s only 89mg saffron extract so not sure if I should try 2 capsules
I call it bullshit, in India we use a lot of saffron for different recipes one particular favorite of mine is kesar phirni which is less sweet and lot of saffron. i am still alive to make this comment 😅
No that was not what the study concluded... This is what they say about the study: The drug and placebo groups both had extremely high rates of symptom improvement: 84.4% of the placebo group found their depression symptoms improved, while 88.5% of the drug group improved. However, in many cases, this “improvement” was small. More important is the number of people who experienced a large improvement. This improvement is more likely to be clinically relevant. The researchers found that those taking the drug were more likely to experience this level of improvement-24.5% of the antidepressant group experienced large improvement, versus 9.6% of the placebo group. Based on these numbers, there seems to be a small group-about 15% of people-who experience a large response to the drug who would not otherwise improve to this level. Unfortunately, the researchers found no way to predict who, exactly, is in this 15%. They write that if everyone with a depression diagnosis is given an antidepressant, about seven people need to be given the drug (and thus be exposed to the harmful effects with no benefit) before one person benefits Common risks of antidepressants include weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and emotional numbing, and the drugs are challenging to discontinue once started.

Death? Care to share where you got this info? Can’t find anything on it

The facial expression he made when he said "science" makes me think it's not real science😂

U need try it with warm milk and jaggery or honey
