Life Extension Optimized Saffron Review

Optimized Saffron is a Life Extension weight management supplement built around Satiereal, a novel extract of saffron stigma. The product is described as helping to fight the urge to snack, with the page noting that snacking can be deceptively difficult to control. According to the page, Optimized Saffron affects neurotransmitter signals to help reduce snacking, helps support healthy weight management by reducing off-schedule eating, and provides appetite management support without caffeine. The page states the formula is caffeine-free and has been clinically tested to help promote satiety. Each vegetarian capsule contains 78 mg of Satiereal saffron extract (stigma), standardized to 0.34% safranal. The recommended use is one capsule twice daily, morning and evening, with food or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. The bottle contains 60 vegetarian capsules, and the page lists the product as gluten free, non-GMO and vegetarian. The page describes a randomized, placebo-controlled study in otherwise healthy, mildly overweight women over eight weeks. Participants consumed either Satiereal or a matching placebo twice a day with unrestricted caloric intake. The page reports that the Satiereal group reported significantly lower snacking frequency after 8 weeks and that weight loss was better than the placebo group. Satiereal is noted as a registered trademark of INOREAL with international patents pending. The page also says the supplement should be taken with a healthy diet and regular exercise, that individual results are not guaranteed, and that it is intended for adults 18 years and older. Warnings include keeping out of reach of children, not exceeding the recommended dose, and consulting a physician if undergoing treatment, pregnant or lactating. The page carries the standard disclaimer that statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and that the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
