For over 3000 years, saffron has been renowned for its therapeutic benefits. The extract is taken from the rich orange stigmas of the Crocus sativus L. flower. Sourced from Iran — where the climate and soil create ideal growing conditions — the saffron is harvested by family farmers who use traditional knowledge to ensure optimum levels of active phytonutrients.

The delicate stigmas are hand‑picked in the early morning before the sun becomes too strong, then gently separated and dried. A patented extraction process preserves the saffron’s valuable actives throughout standardisation, ensuring consistent levels of its key compounds.

Saffron has been used for centuries for a wide range of benefits. Pliny the Elder even described it as a “panacea” in Naturae Historiarum XXXVII. Today, its properties are attributed to saffron‑specific compounds such as safranal and crocins, which contribute to mood balance, emotional wellbeing and antioxidant protection.

Formulated with complementary marigold flower, this supplement contains 100% active ingredients, with no artificial fillers, binders, GMOs, palm oil or animal testing, in line with Viridian’s strict ethical standards.
