What the research shows

The numbers, and where they come from.

Saffiome is built around affron, a standardised saffron extract with eleven published placebo-controlled trials in more than 1,000 people, at the same daily amount the teen trial used: 14 mg to start the day, 14 mg to end it. The studies were on the ingredients, so every number below carries an asterisk.

  • 33% vs 17%Worry and low-mood symptoms, teens 12 to 16

    In an 8-week trial, teens taking 14 mg of affron twice a day, the Saffiome routine, saw a 33% drop in worry and low-mood symptoms against 17% on placebo. More than a third had their scores at least halve, against about one in nine on placebo.*

  • 11 trialsPublished placebo-controlled trials of affron

    Eleven published placebo-controlled trials in more than 1,000 people, including the only one in teenagers. Two sachets a day is the same daily amount and the same morning-and-evening split that trial used.*

  • 5 speciesA multi-strain probiotic for the gut-brain connection

    Every species in xoBiome MoodBalance has its own gut-brain research story. The morning sachets carry four. The evening sachets add a fifth. Meet them below.

*Studies conducted on individual ingredients, not on Saffiome as a finished product. Individual results may vary.

A note from Regan

I made Saffiome for my own kids first.

I made Saffiome for my own kids first. Two little honey sachets, one to start the day and one to end it, with ingredients I'd actually read the studies on and nothing I wouldn't give my own girls. No preservatives, no additives, no junk.

It fits right in with what you already do. Whatever your family already does stays. This just fits into two moments you already have.

Questions parents ask

When do we take them?

The morning sachet when the day starts, the evening one about an hour before bed. Bright AM and Dream PM for kids and teens 6 to 17; Rise AM and Restore PM for adults. No food needed, and your bedtime routine stays exactly as it is.

Will this help my child sleep?

We cannot promise that, and no honest supplement company can. What we can tell you: in two placebo-controlled trials, adults with poor sleep rated their sleep quality better on affron, and the evening sachet carries tart cherry, chamomile and lemon balm, each with sleep or calm studies in adults.* Dream PM goes in the early evening, about an hour before bed, and your bedtime routine stays exactly as it is.

The studies were in teens and adults. What about younger kids?

True, and we will not pretend otherwise. The saffron extract in Saffiome, affron, has eleven published placebo-controlled trials in more than 1,000 people, and the youngest participants were 12 to 16. Saffiome uses the same daily amount that trial used, split the same way. There is no placebo-controlled trial of affron in children under 12. The evening herbs have studies in children under 12, but as a blend with valerian and without a placebo group. Bright AM and Dream PM are for 6 to 17: the teen trial's daily amount is exactly what two kids' sachets deliver. From 18, Rise AM and Restore PM. Every study is listed in The Gut-Brain Connection hub, so you can read them yourself.

How much sugar is in it?

Each kids' sachet has about 6 g of sugar and each adult sachet about 7 g, all of it from the honey. Two kids' sachets a day is about 12.5 g, or three teaspoons; two adult sachets about 15 g, or under four. 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.

What if my child will not take it?

It is honey: a spoon of it, straight from the sachet or stirred into porridge or yoghurt, and the taste and texture are the same every day. If it is not right for your family, email us within 30 days of delivery for a refund under the 30-day money back guarantee, one per product per household.

What does Founding Member mean, and can I cancel?

The first 100 families to subscribe to the Kids Day-Night Bundle pay $99 a month instead of $119, and that price holds for as long as the subscription stays active. Skips and pauses keep it; a cancelled subscription that restarts rejoins at the current price. There is no minimum term: skip, pause or cancel any time in your account. Joining the waitlist takes an email, not a card, and places are offered to the waitlist first, in the order people joined.
