Saffr'activ® Saffron Extract is harvested and handpicked every morning before 10am during the months of November and December. Unlike any other powders on the market, Saffr'activ® does not contain the stamens or white stigmas of the Saffron flower. It is produced by using only the red stigmas, which are known to have the highest concentration in active components, Safranal and Crocin.
