Recent Clinical Study Highlights Potential Neurological Benefits of Crocin
In the latest clinical study published in a medical journal on July 1, 2024 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.parkreldis.2024.107051), it was revealed that taking 30mg of crocin twice daily for two months can significantly benefit conditions related to neurological health, including resting tremor, shaking, stiffness, and mood in study participants.
This is great news for many middle-aged and older adults who have developed or are at risk of developing neurodegenerative conditions. These conditions are characterized by a spectrum of motor and non-motor features, including rigidity, resting tremor, slow movement, loss of balance, sleep disorders, cognitive impairment, and behavioral changes.
Crocin, the sole water-soluble carotenoid found in nature, possesses potent antioxidant, neuroprotective, and inflammation-regulating properties. It is mainly found in saffron and gardenia fruits, both of which have a long history of medicinal uses.
Since 2010, more than 50 clinical studies and hundreds of preclinical studies have underscored the multifaceted benefits of crocin supplementation in enhancing memory, mood, vision, motor and cognitive functions, performance, sleep quality, joint health, and overall well-being.
Laboratory and animal studies have confirmed that crocin supplementation provides neuroprotection and increases levels of dopamine, which helps regulate movement, learning, and emotional response. Additionally, crocin boosts levels of serotonin and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the brain, which positively affect mood.
As a potent dietary ingredient absent in daily foods, fruits, or vegetables, supplementation of crocin is essential for boosting and maintaining healthy memory, top performance, happiness, better eye and brain health, and overall quality of life.
