If you are someone who has been trying to lose weight for quite some time, among the most challenging things to manage are your appetite and cravings for delicious food. In today's world of technology and fast food, more and more people are becoming part of the obese category. If it's a way to lose weight effectively you're looking for, you may want to give pure saffron extract a chance to change your life.

Saffron is commonly associated with cooking because it is used as a spice and coloring agent. The plant that produces saffron is called Crocus sativus, specifically by drying the flowers' stigma. Making just a pound of this spice will need about 75,000 blossoms of Crocus sativus and the harvesting process requires extensive labor. It's not surprising why this spice is among the most expensive in the world.

If you have been watching the Dr. Oz show on a regular basis, you may already have heard about pure saffron extract. Knowing the good doctor, he has always been an advocate of supplements that come from Mother Nature and this one is no different. People seem to pay extra attention when it comes to the topic of weight loss. And when Dr. Oz starts speaking his mind out, everybody listens intently indeed.

If you're wondering why pure saffron extract is being considered as an excellent weight-reducing supplement, it is because of its ability to increase the levels of serotonin in your body. Take note that serotonin is the hormone that acts as your body's natural appetite suppressant. Experts claim that people with higher levels of serotonin are able to control their cravings and appetite better, not to mention having better overall moods, quality sleep, and higher self-esteem.

With saffron extract supplementation, it becomes easier to manage emotional stress of all sorts because you have higher amounts of serotonin in your body. You'll be able to notice that you're not craving for sugar foods that much anymore. A recent study involving a group of women reveals that those who took saffron extract were able to decrease their appetite by as much as 84%. It also kept them from snacking frequently since they had a longer feeling of fullness.

The benefits of pure saffron extract goes beyond weight loss as it can also be a solution for health problems like asthma, heartburn, whooping cough, intestinal gas, and dry skin. Saffron supplementation in men is said to improve the status of those experiencing premature ejaculation. It may even serve as an aphrodisiac that will enhance one's sex drive. For women, it can help alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and menstrual cramps.

If you want to buy a saffron-based supplement, make sure that you know what it is to look for in a quality product. Ideally, you want your supplement to made from 100% pure saffron extract, no more, no less. Make sure it doesn't have even the slightest hint of binders or fillers. You may also want to contact the manufacturing company and ask if the laboratory used to produce the supplement has been registered by the FDA and complying with the GMP program.

It is important to note that Dr. Oz did not endorse any specific brand of pure saffron extract so make sure you stay away from products that say otherwise. It may be a good idea to also first check reviews and testimonials on the product you are looking to purchase. You may be able to find websites that offer a money-back guarantee for their products and some would even be glad to give you a free trial.
