What the research shows
The numbers, and where they come from.
Four sachets, one household routine, built around affron, a standardised saffron extract with eleven published placebo-controlled trials in more than 1,000 people, at the daily amount the trials used for kids and for adults: 14 mg to start the day, 14 mg to end it. The studies were on the ingredients, so every number below carries an asterisk.
-

17%placebo group
Drop in worry and low-mood symptoms
8-week trial, teens 12 to 16
14 mg of affron twice a day, the Saffiome routine. More than a third had their scores at least halve, against about one in nine on placebo.*

Better sleep quality
28-day trial, 120 adults with poor sleep
14 mg of affron before bed improved sleep quality ratings against placebo. A second 28-day trial of 63 adults found the same on 14 mg twice a day.*
-
11 trialsPublished placebo-controlled trials of affron
More than 1,000 people
Including the only trial in teenagers. Two sachets a day match its daily amount and its morning-and-evening split.*
What is inside
-
25%of a child's daily vitamin C, in every morning sachet
From acerola cherry: 10 mg in every kids' morning sachet, 20 mg in every adult one. Australian food law already allows these words: it contributes to normal psychological function, it is necessary for normal neurological function, and it contributes to the normal immune system function.
-
5 speciesA multi-strain probiotic for the gut-brain connection
Four in xoBiome MoodBalance, in every sachet, and Lactobacillus brevis added on its own in the evening: 52 mg for kids, 104 mg for adults. Each has its own gut-brain research story. Meet them below.

Every ingredient named, with its amount. No blends, no hidden numbers.
The base
Honey that is more than a sweetener.
Read about honey and Manuka
Every sachet is built on honey: 80% Australian honey and 20% Australian Manuka certified MGO 250+. Not syrup, not sweeteners. Honey is the reason a six-year-old takes the sachet, and it brings its own prebiotic story.
80% of the baseAustralian honey
Real honey that feeds the good bacteria in your gut.*
Genuine 100% Australian honey from a family-owned Queensland honey house that has kept bees for more than thirty years. Honey's natural oligosaccharides feed Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli in laboratory studies, and honey grew ten to a hundred times more lactobacilli than sugar in the lab, with higher counts in animals fed honey rather than sugar.* That is why the base is honey and not syrup.
Honey is also one of the few foods with placebo-controlled trials in young children: in two trials of children kept up by a cough, parents rated their child's sleep better after a spoon of honey before bed than after placebo.*
Read more about Australian honey
Sanz 2005; Shamala 2000; Cohen 2012; Paul 2007. About 6 g of natural sugars per sachet, with or without food.
20% of the baseAustralian Manuka
Certified MGO 250+, a grade you can check
One fifth of the honey is Australian Manuka, made by bees working the flowers of Leptospermum, a native tree of Australia and New Zealand. Its grade is a number: MGO 250+ means at least 250 milligrams of methylglyoxal per kilogram, certified on every batch, at the threshold of the grade most people know as UMF 10+.
Manuka is studied for its effect on gut bacteria. In a four-week human trial, 20 g a day of high-grade Manuka left the gut's beneficial bacteria undisturbed, and in the lab Manuka supported Bifidobacterium growth in probiotic milk.* We use it for what it is: a premium, tested honey that belongs in a gut-brain routine.

xoBiome MoodBalance
Five probiotic species. Each with a gut-brain story.
Meet the five probiotic species
xoBiome MoodBalance supports the gut-brain connection, where mood and digestion meet.* The gut and the brain talk all day, through the vagus nerve, through hormones and through the immune system, and the bacteria in the gut join that conversation. xoBiome MoodBalance is a multi-strain probiotic built for it, developed and made on the Gold Coast: four species, 100 mg in every kids' sachet and 200 mg in every adult one. The evening sachets add a fifth species on its own, Lactobacillus brevis: 52 mg in Dream PM (kids) and 104 mg in Restore PM (adults).
- All four sachets
The famous pairing
Lactobacillus helveticus
One half of the most-studied psychobiotic pairing in the research. In a 30-day placebo-controlled trial, healthy adults taking L. helveticus with a Bifidobacterium had lower psychological distress scores and lower stress hormone in their urine than the placebo group.*
Messaoudi 2011 (L. helveticus R0052 with B. longum R0175).
- All four sachets
The vagus nerve study
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
The species behind the study that started the gut-brain field. In mice, L. rhamnosus changed the brain's calming GABA receptors and lowered stress hormones, and the effect disappeared when the vagus nerve was cut.* In a New Zealand trial of 423 mothers, L. rhamnosus HN001 through pregnancy meant lower low-mood and worry scores after the birth.*
Bravo 2011 (JB-1, mice); Slykerman 2017 (HN001).
- All four sachets
The stress study
Lactobacillus plantarum
A species found naturally in fermented foods like sauerkraut and sourdough. In 111 stressed adults, L. plantarum DR7 for 12 weeks lowered stress and worry scores and the stress hormone cortisol against placebo.*
Chong 2019 (DR7). Full study details are in our hub.
- All four sachets
The memory and mood one
Bifidobacterium breve
In a 16-week placebo-controlled trial of 80 older adults, B. breve A1 improved memory and thinking scores against placebo, with no adverse events.* In a 4-week trial of 45 adults with low mood, B. breve CCFM1025 improved mood scores against placebo, alongside changes in the gut's tryptophan chemistry.*
Xiao 2020 (A1); Tian 2022 (CCFM1025).
- Evening sachets only
The evening species
Lactobacillus brevis
The GABA maker. Of 91 human gut bacteria tested, L. brevis was the most efficient producer of GABA, the brain's main calming messenger, converting up to 90% of its raw material.* That is why it is in the evening sachet and not the morning one. Dream PM (kids) carries 52 mg of it and Restore PM (adults) 104 mg, on top of MoodBalance.
Barrett 2012 (DPC6108).

The evening herbs
What turns the day toward night.
Read about the four evening herbs
Both evening sachets carry the same three: tart cherry, chamomile and lemon balm, in a larger amount for adults. Restore PM adds a fourth, passionflower, which is not in the kids' sachet. Each one has its own research, and lemon balm has the most of it in children under 12.
Both evening sachetsThe evening fruit
Tart cherry, studied for sleep in adults
350 mg in Dream PM (kids), 480 mg in Restore PM (adults). Sour cherry concentrated ten to one. Tart cherry, the evening fruit, studied for sleep in adults.*
Losso 2018: eight adults over 50, 240 mL of juice twice a day for two weeks, measured by overnight sleep study. The trials used juice, so we call it a studied ingredient, not a studied amount.
Both evening sachetsThe evening flower
Chamomile, studied for calm in adults
50 mg in Dream PM (kids), 100 mg in Restore PM (adults). The flower behind Europe's evening tea for centuries. In an 8-week trial, adults taking chamomile extract reported lower worry scores than those on placebo, and a 28-day trial in older adults found better sleep quality ratings than placebo.*
Amsterdam 2009; Adib-Hajbaghery 2017.
Both evening sachetsThe calm herb
Lemon balm, studied in children
50 mg in Dream PM (kids), 60 mg in Restore PM (adults). A lemon-scented mint used for calm since the Middle Ages, and the evening herb with the most study in children under 12. In two German studies of more than a thousand children under 12, parents and paediatricians rated a lemon balm and valerian blend as improving restlessness and settling to sleep in most children.*
Müller 2006 (918 children); Gromball 2014 (169 children); Kennedy 2004. The child studies used a blend with valerian and had no placebo group.
Adults onlyThe evening vine
Passionflower, studied for sleep quality in adults
60 mg in Restore PM (adults). Not in the kids' sachet. Passiflora incarnata, the flowering vine that European and American herbal traditions kept for evening calm. In a week-long trial of 41 adults, a cup of passionflower tea each evening improved sleep quality ratings against placebo.*
Ngan and Conduit 2011.
*Studies conducted on individual ingredients, not on Saffiome as a finished product. Individual results may vary. Amounts in the sachet are extracts; the trials used juices, teas and larger extract amounts, so these are studied ingredients, not studied amounts.
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.

What to expect
Give it the time the studies gave it.
Saffiome is a daily supplement, not a switch. The trials measured change at four, eight and twelve weeks, so that is the honest timeline.
- Days 1 to 14
The routine settles in.
Two sachets, start and end of the day. Most kids take to the honey on day one. The win in the first fortnight is that it happens without a fight, and that it happens every day.
- Week 4
The first point the adult trials measured a change.
At four weeks, adults with low mood scored better on mood than placebo at 28 mg of affron a day, and adults with poor sleep rated their sleep quality better.*
- Week 8
The point the teen trial measured its result.
At eight weeks on 14 mg twice a day, teens aged 12 to 16 reported 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.*
- Week 12
The point the largest adult trial measured its result.
At twelve weeks, 72.3% of adults on 28 mg a day had a meaningful lift in mood score against 54.3% on placebo.* No trial ran longer, so we promise nothing past it. Most families keep the routine because it is easy, not because a calendar says so.
*Studies conducted on individual ingredients, not on Saffiome as a finished product. Individual results may vary.
Where it fits
Fits right in with what you already do.
Saffiome is the morning and night routine that fits around everything your family already does. OT, psych, school supports, medication if you use it: all of that stays. Saffiome is two sachets, one to start the day and one to end it. It does not replace anything, and it does not ask you to change anything else.
If your child takes prescribed medication, show your prescriber the ingredient list before you start. It is all on this page.
Questions parents ask
What is in the Family Day + Night Bundle?
Four pouches: Bright AM and Dream PM for kids and teens 6 to 17, Rise AM and Restore PM for adults 18 and over. About a month each. $289 one-off or $229 every 30 days on subscription, which is less than the two bundles bought separately.
We have two kids and one adult. Can I change the mix?
Yes. Add the pack, then adjust the quantities in your cart, or build it from the kids' and adults' bundles separately. Subscriptions can change quantity any month from your account.
What is different between the kids' and adults' sachets?
Both are 8 g sachets; the adults' carry more of the actives: the same affron saffron extract at 14 mg, twice the fermented saffron and probiotic, 20 mg of vitamin C, and a gentle green tea lift in Rise AM, and more tart cherry and chamomile plus passionflower in Restore PM. The kids' sachets contain no caffeine.
Can my child take Saffiome alongside ADHD medication?
Saffiome is a supplement in a honey sachet: saffron, a probiotic, and evening herbs in the evening sachet. It does not replace anything already in place for your child: medication, OT, psych or school supports. Every child is different, so if your child takes prescribed medication, check with your prescriber before adding anything new, and take the ingredient list with you. Every ingredient and amount is on this page.
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 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 a child and 12 g for an adult, around three teaspoons of sugar either way. The morning sachet starts the day and the evening sachet goes about an hour before bed, so it is done before teeth are brushed.
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 18 and over. No food needed, and your bedtime routine stays exactly as it is.
