Why we ditched capsules and went back to whole saffron threads

Most saffron supplements on the market are powdered extract stuffed into a capsule, cut with fillers and binding agents. We built Aurelia around whole Super Negin grade threads instead — the same form used in the clinical studies on crocin and safranal (the two compounds tied to mood and stress response).


The difference is the ritual, not just the ingredient: steep 3-4 threads in warm water, watch it turn gold, drink slowly. That golden color is the crocin actually releasing — it's a visible signal the compounds are infusing, not a hydration trick.


We also just launched Bloom, a daily intimate-wellness gummy formulated with OB/GYN input, for the same reason — simple, whole-ingredient, no capsule-stuffing. If you've tried saffron capsules before and felt nothing, the delivery method is probably why.
