"In addition to the improved sleep, the study showed that saffron was well tolerated with no reported adverse effects," Dr. Lopresti said.
However, the researchers reported that even though the results were positive, the findings require replication using a larger sample size and differing populations. "Our early research is indeed positive and there is evidence that taking a standardised saffron extract is associated with improvements in sleep quality," Dr. Lopresti said
Dr. Lopresti said the results from the Murdoch University study indicate a standardized Delta Sleep Pill
