MADRID, Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Results of a new study demonstrate that the standardized affron® saffron extract boosts the body's endogenous production of melatonin. Melatonin—nicknamed the "sleep hormone"—is naturally produced in the body from the dietary amino acid tryptophan. Among other roles, melatonin helps synchronize the sleep–wake cycle and other circadian rhythms and helps adjust for seasonal changes in sleep timing. It has become one of the most commonly used treatment for sleep disorders.

Key Points: 
  • Among other roles, melatonin helps synchronize the sleep–wake cycle and other circadian rhythms and helps adjust for seasonal changes in sleep timing.
  • In summary, the study shows unequivocally that affron has an effect on sleep quality because it stimulates endogenous melatonin production.
  • Insufficient Sleep is defined by The Sleep Foundation as "curtailed sleep that persists for three months or longer," as well as "poor sleep that occurs because of sleep fragmentation or other disruptions."
  • "Better sleep is as much about good sleep as it is about duration of sleep," explains Espinel.
