This review examines Saffron Extract by Zuva Labs. This product is marketed as a mood enhancer as well as a supplement for eye health. The supplement is made in the USA and in a GMP-certified facility. Unfortunately, Zuva Labs does not seem to have an official website which made us hesitant to place this product so high on our list of recommended products. However, the Amazon reviews assured us that this is a real product. While the product details claim that there is an unlimited time money-back guarantee, the comments made us wonder how much this promise is really worth.
Zuva Labs Saffron Extract provides 88.5 mg of Saffron extract. This is a larger number than our top 2 picks, but it should be noted that the higher dosage is the effect of a smaller standardization. This product is standardized to 0.3% safranal compared to the 3% in our other recommendations. Many products use this dosage (88.5 mg), but not all of them are standardized which is part of why this product outranked them. Unfortunately, this product does not contain a bioavailability enhancer to improve its absorption and effects.
The reviews of Zuva Labs Saffron Extract are mixed, though the positive outnumber the negative. One concern is that some customers experienced stomach upset, worsened anxiety, or headaches. Therefore, while we do expect this formula to be effective to some degree based on the formula, we wonder at just how effective it really is.
The product is marketed as safe and made according to the GMP guidelines. Nevertheless, as with any new supplement or diet introduced into your daily life, we always advise talking to your healthcare professional about possible contraindications of any pre-existing medical conditions or medications that you are taking. Supplements work differently for everyone and the effects vary between individuals so it is always a good idea to run any health changes by a professional. Additionally, confirm that you do not have a saffron allergy before taking this supplement.
We like that Zuva Labs Saffron Extract is made in accordance with the GMP guidelines and that it offers a standardized extract of 0.3% safranal. While most of the reviews were positive, there were a few negative ones as well. With 88.5 mg, this product might seem more impressive than our top 2 picks, but based on the standardization its potency is significantly weaker. Overall, we cautiously recommend this product based on its cheap price tag and decent formula, but all things considered, we were unable to rank this product any higher.
Our promise: We will never share your contact details, unless you give us permission. And, we will only ever send you information that is helpful and significant.
