HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Satiereal Saffron Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 10, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Satiereal Saffron Stigma Extract, Dry — a concentrated form of saffron that isolates the stigmas (the delicate threads at the flower's center) where saffron's active compounds live. The liquid also contains glycerin and water as inactive ingredients to carry the extract.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Saffron's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Saffron for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Alzheimer disease — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Saffron extract in this product is rated Possibly Effective for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage and pain from cancer treatment) and for Alzheimer disease. The evidence suggests it may help with these conditions, but the data we hold doesn't confirm it works reliably for other uses.

Talk with your doctor about whether saffron fits your health goals.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Saffron

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Saffron extract is generally well tolerated, but side effects do occur. The most common are gastrointestinal complaints, nausea, sedation, and vomiting.

Rare but serious cases of anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) have been reported. Some people have developed allergies to saffron, including reactions like asthma from inhaling the spice.

At higher doses — 30 mg twice daily over 26 weeks — saffron has caused anxiety and mood changes in clinical trials, though lower daily doses did not. For pregnancy, the safety data advises against it: saffron in medicinal or supplement amounts may stimulate the uterus and isn't considered safe during pregnancy.

For breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable safety information to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Saffron.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 521 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs), blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), diabetes drugs, or caffeine regularly. Saffron can have additive effects with depressants and blood pressure medications, raise the risk of low blood sugar with diabetes drugs, and slow how your body clears caffeine — all at Moderate severity.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This saffron extract may be worth exploring if you're dealing with chemotherapy-related nerve pain or Alzheimer disease and your doctor agrees it's appropriate. However, if you take blood pressure medication, diabetes drugs, sedatives, or caffeine regularly, you'll need to check your specific medications first — saffron can interact with all of them.

Pregnant people should avoid it. Run your medication list through the checker on this page, and talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before you start.

Satiereal Saffron Stigma Extract, Dry4 drug types · 521 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of saffron with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Some clinical research shows that taking saffron extract reduces fasting levels of glucose when used in addition to hypoglycemic agents. However, saffron powder itself has not been shown to reduce fasting glucose levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of saffron with antihypertensive drugs might have additive effects.
Animal and human research suggests that saffron extract can decrease blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Caffeine

Theoretically, saffron might inhibit the metabolism of caffeine.
A small clinical study suggests that taking saffron powder 300 mg in 150 mL water daily for 5 days and then taking caffeine 200 mg seems to reduce caffeine metabolite levels in the saliva and urine in males, but not females. Theoretically, this may be due to the inhibition of cytochrome P450 1A2 by saffron.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use of saffron and CNS depressants might have additive sedative effects.
Clinical research shows that taking saffron extract 60 mg orally daily for 26 weeks can cause drowsiness and sedation. Animal research suggests that adding saffron to hexobarbital further increases sleeping and slows motor activity.
