Saffron, explained

The questions parents ask us most about saffron.

Is saffron safe for my child?

Yes, saffron is our core active ingredient, studied for supporting mood balance and focus.

Please check with your paediatrician first if your child takes any prescription medication or has an existing condition.

Is it the same saffron I cook with?

It comes from the same crocus flower as the spice in your pantry. Mood Gummies use a saffron extract rather than loose threads, so it’s easy for kids to take in one gummy.

Will my child taste the saffron?

Not really. Mood Gummies have a berry flavour, so they taste like a berry treat.

What else is in Mood Gummies?

Alongside saffron, each gummy contains passion flower, St. John’s Wort, GABA and Vitamin D2.
