Saffron Supplement: 90mg Saffron Extract in a Daily Gummy
In short: GUUDIES is not a single saffron supplement. It is a daily pouch of six gummies, and one of them, the Metabolic gummy, contains 90mg of saffron extract (Crocus sativus) alongside blood orange and lemon extracts. If you want saffron as part of one simple daily routine rather than another separate capsule, this is how it fits.
| Ingredient | Per serving | % NRV |
|---|---|---|
| Saffron extract (Crocus sativus) | 90mg | No NRV set |
| Blood orange extract | 200mg | No NRV set |
| Lemon extract (eriocitrin) | 25mg | No NRV set |
What is a saffron supplement?
Saffron is the dried stigma of Crocus sativus, an autumn-flowering crocus. Each flower produces three stigmas, picked by hand, and it takes roughly 150,000 flowers to make a kilogram of dried saffron. A saffron supplement uses a standardised extract of those stigmas rather than the whole threads you cook with, so every serving contains a consistent amount.
Saffron gummies vs saffron capsules
Most saffron supplements in the UK come as capsules or tablets. A gummy does the same job of delivering a set amount of extract, in a format some people find easier to remember and to take. GUUDIES gummies are pectin based, so there is no gelatine, and the Metabolic gummy is vegan. If you already take a saffron capsule, check the total amount you would be taking before adding another product.
Who it suits
- Adults aged 18 and over who want saffron extract as part of one daily routine.
- People who prefer a chewable to swallowing capsules.
- Anyone who wants to see the exact amount of saffron per serving on the label (90mg).
It does not suit children, or anyone who is pregnant. Saffron is not recommended at supplemental amounts in pregnancy. If you are breastfeeding or taking prescription medication, particularly anything affecting mood, speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting.
How to take it
Take the six gummies in your daily pouch once a day, with or without food. The saffron is in the strawberry-flavoured Metabolic gummy. Do not exceed the stated daily serving. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
How to choose a saffron supplement
- Look for the amount in milligrams. A label should say how much saffron extract is in each daily serving, not just list saffron as an ingredient.
- Extract, not threads. Standardised extracts give a consistent amount per serving; loose threads vary by harvest and storage.
- Check sourcing. Saffron is one of the most commonly adulterated foods, with safflower, turmeric, marigold and dyed corn silk all sold as saffron, so it is worth buying from a brand that names its ingredient and batch-tests it.
- Read every claim carefully. In Great Britain, no health claim for saffron has been authorised. Be wary of products that promise specific results.
Where saffron comes from
Iran produces most of the world's saffron. Spain, Greece, Kashmir, Morocco and Afghanistan account for much of the rest, and Spanish La Mancha and Greek Krokos saffron have protected designation status.

Neither is better in itself. Both deliver a set amount of extract. Gummies suit people who prefer a chewable; check the milligrams per serving whichever you choose.

Yes. Saffron extract is sold in the UK as a food supplement in capsules, tablets and gummies. GUUDIES includes it in one of the six gummies in its daily pouch.

Not quite. Culinary saffron is the whole dried stigma. Supplements use a standardised extract so the amount per serving is consistent.
