  
Saffron extract to combat macular degeneration
Autumn-blooming purple or white crocus flowers produce three long, red stamens that we call saffron.
Saffron is a well-known mood enhancer and promotes relaxation, and also helps with weight loss by curbing the appetite.
However, recent studies in Australia and Italy have shown that adding 20 strands of saffron to your recipes can help prevent macular degeneration and potentially save your eyesight.
How does it work?
"The antioxidant qualities of saffron counteract the effects of aging, illness,
and intense light exposure on our central vision. By increasing oxygen
availability in the eye cells, saffron appears to fight or forestall the death
of photoreceptors, keeping vision clear for
reading, driving, recognizing faces, and seeing colors accurately."
You can grow your own crocus sativus, but 50 bulbs yield only about 1 tsp. of saffron.
That's why buying dried saffron can be very expensive, so why not stop in at Comfrey Corner of Heath and pick up one of our high quality saffron extract supplements?
We carry saffron extract by NOW, Natural Factors, and Bio Nutrition; all three of these brands help with mood, relaxation, appetite control, and combatting macular degeneration.
Stop in and see us. We look forward to seeing you soon!
