Saffron Extract Saffron Crocin 1%

‌‌1. Irritates the gastrointestinal tract and causes discomfort Saffron is cool in nature and contains some irritating components. For people with weak gastrointestinal function, consuming saffron may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa. People with sensitive stomachs are prone to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea after consuming saffron. These uncomfortable reactions not only affect the quality of life but may also lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, further damaging health.

Even people with normal gastrointestinal function may disrupt the normal balance of the digestive system if they consume saffron crocin for a long time or in large quantities, leading to indigestion, affecting food digestion and nutrient absorption, and consequently causing nutritional deficiencies, resulting in lethargy and fatigue.

2. Affects the endocrine system and interferes with the menstrual cycle Saffron has the property of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which can affect the body's endocrine system. For women, consuming saffron crocin outside of their menstrual period may cause fluctuations in hormone levels, leading to menstrual cycle disorders, such as increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation. For pregnant women, the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing effects of saffron may stimulate uterine contractions, increasing the risk of miscarriage.

In addition, endocrine system disorders can also affect mood and sleep quality. The body's endocrine system is closely related to the nervous system. When the endocrine system is imbalanced, it is easy to experience irritability, anxiety, and insomnia, seriously affecting daily life and mental health.
