Affron® (Saffron) Extract

Saffrosun for Children is a gentle saffron supplement designed to support emotional balance, calmer moments and smoother bedtime routines. Powered by Affron®, the world’s most clinically studied saffron extract, it offers a natural way to help growing minds navigate busy days, big feelings and bedtime routines with ease.

Description

Saffrosun for Children is a carefully crafted supplement, developed by our expert pharmacists to support children's emotional and cognitive well-being. This unique formula combines the benefits of Affron® (saffron) extract with essential vitamin D and vitamin B12 to help maintain balanced mood, focus, and restful sleep.

Our Affron® is standardised to contain 3.5% of its active compounds - crocin, picrocrocin, and 0.2% safranal. These natural bioactives help regulate emotions, calm the nervous system, enhance concentration, and encourage a peaceful night's sleep. Saffron’s uplifting properties can ease feelings of negativity, fostering a gentle sense of calm and positivity to help children approach their day with resilience and clarity.

Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin”, supports mood stability, bone health, and immune resilience, while vitamin B12 helps maintain focus, energy, and mental sharpness.

Together, these carefully chosen nutrients provide holistic support for children’s mood, concentration, and overall well-being.

Non-drowsy and non-sedating, it can be taken anytime to fit your routine.

No unnecessary additives. No bulking agents. No synthetics. Just pure plant power. 🌱
