🔑 The fat absorption trick that most articles forget
Studies show that crocin absorption can increase 3 to 6 times when taken with dietary fats. A teaspoon of olive oil, a few slices of avocado, or a pat of butter at breakfast makes a measurable difference.
❓ Answers to the questions I receive every week
1. Is 20 mg safe to take every day?
Yes — 20 mg has been used safely in clinical trials lasting up to one year. That’s about the amount used to cook a paella for 4 people.
2. Can I simply use the saffron from my kitchen?
Culinary-grade saffron varies considerably in its active compounds. Look for reputable brands that test for a crocin content of ≥3% (as indicated on the label).
3. When is the best time to take it?
Eating food containing fats in the morning allows for the most regular absorption throughout the day.
