Most brands skip this: desire and physical function are two different systems. HRT works the second one — dryness, hot flashes, sleep. It rarely touches the wanting itself. That signal doesn't disappear during this transition — it gets buried under shifting hormones, broken sleep, and mental overload.
Saffron's active compounds — crocin, crocetin, safranal — interact with the same serotonin and dopamine pathways behind that signal. Unlike most botanicals on this shelf, it's been through real clinical trials on women, at a repeatable dose: 30mg a day.
Different trials measured different things. Not every outcome improved in every study. We'll tell you that straight — not round up a number you can't verify.*
