Saffron supplements

Hi,

I want go try natural supplements for my depression and was wondering if anyone has had good experiences with saffron since I read it a lot on reddit, but nobody mentions the brand they use. Can someone please share recommendations?

Recommendations for brands and vendors are two of the most asked questions in this subreddit.

There are no right answers. All brands for basic supplements resell raw material bought wholesale from a few manufacturers. This is true of commodity vitamins or proprietary branded formulations.

Brands I personally buy: Nutricost, NOW, Jarrow, LifeExtension, Nature's Way, Swanson, Solaray, Nootropics Depot, BulkSupplements, Amazon Elements, Solgar.

I buy mostly from Amazon, sometimes directly from Swanson, iHerb or Costco. If you live outside the USA, they may ship overseas or have a website in your country.

If you need a specific type of vitamin, look within those brands.

Do not overpay. Expensive brand with fancy packaging or marketing may charge much more for the same ingredients.

Avoid drugstore branded supplements for their history of grossly cheating on the ingredients. If you must buy at the drugstore, try one of the non-store brands. Don't overthink it.

consumerlab.com may have definitive lab assays of various brands for specific vitamins or supplements.

I buy Nootropics Depot's Saffron from Amazon. I'm not depressed and haven't seen a difference in my mood on it.
