Every ingredient, explained like you are standing in our lab.

Kids' sachets: 14 mg of affron, the standardised extract (3.5% Lepticrosalides), plus 100 mg of fermented saffron, which carries 5 mg of saffron. Adult sachets: the same 14 mg of affron, plus 200 mg of fermented saffron, which carries 10 mg of saffron. Two sachets a day is 28 mg of affron for kids and adults alike, the daily amount and the morning-and-evening split used in the clinical trials.

The morning sachets, Bright AM (kids) and Rise AM (adults): Lactobacillus helveticus, L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium breve. The evening sachets, Dream PM (kids) and Restore PM (adults), add Lactobacillus brevis on its own: 52 mg and 104 mg.

A preparation of inanimate microorganisms and their components, the cells and the compounds a fermentation made. In Saffiome the fermented saffron carries the postbiotic, and xoBiome MoodBalance carries the live probiotic: live cultures, plus what cultures make.

MGO is methylglyoxal, a compound that forms naturally in Manuka honey from the nectar of Leptospermum. The number is milligrams per kilogram, so MGO 250+ means at least 250 milligrams in every kilogram of the Manuka we blend in, certified on every batch. It sits at the threshold of the grade most people know as UMF 10+. Manuka is 20% of the honey base; the MGO grade describes the Manuka, not the whole sachet.

Both the honey and the Manuka come from a local, family-owned Queensland honey house, thirty years in the trade and HACCP certified, sourcing genuine 100% pure Australian honey from a network of trusted beekeepers across the country.

Each sachet is about a teaspoon of honey: about 6 g of sugar, kids or adult, all of it from the honey. Two sachets a day come to about 12.5 g for kids and 12 g for adults, around three teaspoons of sugar either way. That is the honey doing its job as the food that carries everything else. The morning sachet starts the day and the evening sachet goes about an hour before bed, so it is done before teeth are brushed.

Honey is a food children already know, and it carries the rest of the formula. Bright AM and Dream PM are for kids and teens 6 to 17; Rise AM and Restore PM are the adult sachets, 18 and over. Honey is never for babies under 12 months.

Our honey is 100% Australian. We will only use the word organic if the supplier's certification lets us, and we will show the certificate here when we do.

The saffron extract, affron, is made in Spain by Pharmactive from Crocus sativus stigmas and standardised to 3.5% Lepticrosalides. The fermented saffron is fermented on the Gold Coast. Every other origin is printed above and on the pouch.

Two things. affron is a concentrated extract: 14 mg is a dense, standardised amount of saffron's active compounds, guaranteed at 3.5% Lepticrosalides, the same thing the trials used. Fermented saffron is a whole fermented material: 100 mg in a kids' sachet provides 5 mg of saffron, 200 mg in an adult sachet provides 10 mg, and the other 95% is the postbiotic, the cells and metabolites the fermentation made. So every sachet carries saffron in two forms, plus a live probiotic and a postbiotic side by side.
