Saffron supplement shows promise for menopause symptoms

This study looked at whether a daily saffron extract supplement can reduce common perimenopause symptoms like mood changes, sleep problems, and hot flashes in healthy women over 40. 104 women with irregular periods and moderate-to-severe symptoms took either saffron or a placebo for several weeks. The goal was to see if saffron could improve their quality of life without the need for hormones or antidepressants.
