What Is Crocus Sativus Extract?

The product is a standardised botanical powder concentrate obtained from the stigmas of Crocus sativus L. flowers containing bioactive substances like crocin, crocetin and safranal. This extract, unlike raw saffron stigmas, is a solution to industrial problems such as severe price fluctuation, batch variability and limited bioavailability.

Advanced extraction techniques such as water extraction for clean-label goods or ethanol/supercritical CO2 to achieve better purity, retain synergistic phytochemicals such as carotenoids (crocin, crocetin), flavonoids (rutin, kaempferol), and phenolic acids (ellagic acid, gallic acid). Comparative studies have shown these substances to have better antioxidant action than BHT and ascorbic acid.

Features

Better Antioxidant and Anti-Aging Abilities

Crocetin enhances the expression of mitochondrial electron transport chain genes in the hippocampus tissue and restores the brain energy metabolism. Long-term treatment increased median longevity of old mice by 17.7% (744 to 876 days).

Support for Mood & Neurologic Health

Clinical investigations demonstrate 28mg daily for 12 weeks resulted in 33% reduction in anxiety scores and 32% reduction in depression in perimenopausal women. The extract suppresses microglia activation and NF-κB signalling pathways.

Improves Sleep Quality

Gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acid synthesis modulated a 30mg daily dosage that enhanced subjective sleep quality (p=0.04) and shortened sleep start latency (p=0.03) in persons aged 55-85.

Clean Label & Ethically Sourced

According to principles of the circular economy and with better antioxidant advantages, the extracts of petals and leaves, which constitute 90% of the biomass of a flower and are often discarded, are rich in rutin and ellagic acid.

FAQ

Q：What active ingredient specifications and testing standards can you offer?

A：We supply multiple product specifications with crocin content ranging from 0.3% to 30% verified by HPLC. Ratio extracts (4:1, 10:1, 20:1) and versions standardized to crocetin or safranal are available. Physical parameters include reddish-brown fine powder, moisture ≤5%, particle size ≥80 mesh, with heavy metals and microbiological parameters complying with USP/EP/CP standards.

Q：What quality control measures ensure product safety and consistency?

A：Our full-chain quality control starts with traceable stigmas from Iran, Spain, and other primary origins. Each batch is tested for quantification by HPLC, heavy metal testing by ICP-MS, pesticide screening by GC-MS and microbiological testing by USP. All shipments come with the full COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet, with ISO/HACCP/GMP/KOSHER/HALAL certificates maintained.

Q：What is the regulatory status in different markets?

A：Saffron extract is widely accepted as a dietary supplement ingredient. Whole stigmas imported as traditional medicinal materials may require an Import Drug License (3-month approval process). Extract powder typically classifies as a food ingredient without drug licensing. Verify target market regulations regarding maximum daily crocin intake before procurement.

Q：What is your MOQ and customization capabilities?

A：Standard MOQ starts at 1kg, with 10-20g samples available. We offer crocin specification customization (0.3%–30%), extraction solvent selection (water for clean label vs. ethanol for purity), carrier options (maltodextrin), and OEM/ODM formulation development for capsules, tablets, powders, and beverages.
