SAFFRON
Common Uses & Potential Benefits
Research has explored saffron tablets for:
Mood support
May help reduce symptoms of mild to moderate depression and anxiety.
Cognitive health
Early evidence suggests benefits for memory and learning, sometimes studied in mild Alzheimer’s disease.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Some studies show improvement in mood swings, irritability, and physical symptoms.
Appetite control / weight management
May help reduce cravings and snacking.
Eye health
Investigated for benefits in age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Evidence-Based Supplements That May Support Blood Pressure
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Fish Oil or Algal Oil)
Shown in multiple meta-analyses to modestly lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Mechanism: reduces vascular inflammation, improves endothelial function.
Magnesium
Plays a role in vascular tone and smooth muscle relaxation.
Supplementation may lower systolic BP by ~2–4 mmHg, especially in individuals with deficiency.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
Antioxidant that improves endothelial function.
Some RCTs show reductions of ~10 mmHg in systolic BP.
Potassium (dietary or supplemental, if safe)
High potassium intake is associated with lower blood pressure.
Works by balancing sodium and improving arterial flexibility. Caution: contraindicated in CKD or patients on potassium-sparing meds.
Garlic Extract
Well-studied herbal option; meta-analyses show reductions in both systolic and diastolic BP.
May also improve cholesterol profiles.
Beetroot / Nitrate-Rich Extracts
Dietary nitrates increase nitric oxide availability, promoting vasodilation.
Shown to lower systolic BP in some trials.
Safety Considerations
Supplements should complement, not replace prescribed therapy.
Important to check for drug–nutrient interactions (e.g., garlic + anticoagulants, potassium + ACE inhibitors).
Should be tailored to the individual’s comorbidities and lab values.
