Saffron is one of the most powerful natural ingredients in the world, but like any potent herb, the right dosage is important. Too little and you miss the benefits; too much and it becomes unnecessary or wasteful.
Based on research and traditional usage, here is the clear, correct, and safe daily dosage for pure saffron, especially premium Herati Saffron.
Recommended Daily Saffron Dosage
2–5 strands per day
This is the ideal amount for:
• Mood improvement
• Energy and focus
• Stress reduction
• Immune support
• Better sleep
• Daily wellness
This small amount is enough because saffron contains highly concentrated compounds such as crocin, safranal, and picrocrocin.
Maximum Safe Dosage
Up to 30 mg per day (around 10–12 strands)
Safe for adults when used in tea, milk, or food.
Do NOT exceed 150 mg (large amounts can be harmful or cause dizziness).
Why You Only Need a Few Strands
Saffron is a highly potent spice. Each strand contains:
• strong antioxidants
• natural mood-boosting compounds
• anti-inflammatory properties
• sleep-support chemicals
Unlike other herbs, saffron does not need “large spoons.”
A few strands give full results.
