Why this scored 55/100
Saffron (Crocus sativus stigma) is one of the most impressive-evidence herbal supplements of the past decade — meta-analyses (Lopresti & Drummond 2014; Marx 2019) show effects comparable to SSRIs for mild-to-moderate depression at 30mg/day of standardized extract (saffron stigma extract standardized to crocin/safranal, brand names include Affron, Satiereal). Also evidence for premenstrual syndrome (Ayati 2016), age-related macular degeneration (Falsini 2010), and sexual dysfunction in SSRI users (Kashani 2013). Effective dose is remarkably low — 15-30mg/day of standardized extract, which is why 'saffron gold' pricing works economically. This SKU discloses only 'saffron' with no standardization, no per-cap mg, and no brand-extract identification. Standard 55/100: exceptional evidence base for the ingredient class, held down by no standardization or dose disclosure. Would score higher if Affron/Satiereal extract with 30mg dose disclosed.

Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
