  • The trial involved 63 participants over 28 days, measuring sleep quality through questionnaires and diaries, with data from 55 participants indicating positive effects of saffron.
  • Saffron was well tolerated with no adverse effects, but the study suggests that further research with larger sample sizes and more diverse participants is needed to confirm these findings.]
