Since I am struggling to find real treatment medication where I live, I looked up natural alternatives. Found some who speak good about saffron as having good effects. I just started taking it 2 days ago. Has anybody tried it for an extended period?

Bro can afford saffron?!?!

Saffron is about $3 per gram where I live. And I've seen a newish study saying we only need a dose between 0.5 to 0.88 grams of saffranal per day and get a good benefit.

Since it does not harm to eat a bit a saffron everyday, then why not? Even if it does not work, it would not hurt.
