What is FLORASSIST® Mood Improve?
FLORASSIST® Mood Improve by Life Extension is a supplement that combines two patented probiotic strains with a standardized saffron extract. Globally, there is significant interest in the gut-brain axis, the complex communication network between the gut and the brain, where signals travel in both directions. While extensive research is being conducted in this area, there are currently no officially approved health claims for probiotics related to mood in the EU.
Saffron (Crocus sativus) has a rich tradition across various cultures, both as a spice and in traditional medicine. While saffron boasts a long and respected history, it is important to note that this does not automatically mean its health benefits are recognized under EU regulations. Some potential health benefits of saffron are still under review by the EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority.

Health claims currently under review by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
- Saffron contributes to adaptability in stressful situations.
- Saffron supports a positive mood.
In compliance with European regulations on health claims, we are limited in directly communicating specific uses of this supplement. Life Extension cannot make statements about nutrients without an approved health claim by the European Commission. These claims are approved based on scientific evidence, evaluated by the EFSA. Health claims establish the relationship between nutrition and health.
Health claims are approved only if evidence meets strict requirements. For herbs like saffron, this is challenging since much of the evidence is traditional and does not meet modern scientific standards. Therefore, the European Commission has not yet established definitive assessment criteria for herbal claims.
Available in a convenient resealable jar containing 30 capsules, each featuring a unique combination of carefully selected probiotic strains and 30 mg of standardized saffron extract.

Each capsule contains 30 mg of standardized saffron extract. Continuous use of saffron is possible; however, as with all supplements, taking a break after several months of use may help maintain your body’s sensitivity to the active components.
It is recommended to take this supplement with food to enhance absorption and minimize potential stomach discomfort. Ideal intake timing may differ for each person; many users prefer taking the capsule in the morning or around lunch.

Be mindful of potential side effects such as stomach discomfort or allergic reactions. While saffron and probiotics are generally well-tolerated, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if you experience severe side effects. Known side effects of saffron include stomach upset, nausea, and dizziness. These are typically mild, and not everyone will experience them, but it is crucial to follow the recommended dosages.
