Satiereal Saffron Extract

[norcalmom]

I'm a bit of a Dr Oz junkie....did anyone see the weight loss episode with the 4 or 5 supplements for different weight issues last week? One was for Satiereal Saffron Extract - for those who had "emotional eating"...and what made me interested in that was that according to Dr OS - people have emotional eating (usually carbs) because they want to feel better - and the carbs effect serotonin, amking you feel happier when you down.

 

I did only one google search, but looks like Dr Amen uses it in a proprietary blend for depression (has inositol, the saffron and B vitamins and 5HTP) along with saffron.

 

Apparently it is something that has immediate effect (for the women that stopped snacking do to emotional issues anyway - they lost weight in days).

 

Anyone heard of this or using it with their kids? We just started some SSRIs so I won't be trying it (unless I want to loos a couple L-Bs) - but wish I had know about this before.
