Scientists from Murdoch University in Australia have discovered a new natural-based sleeping pill.

It turned out to be saffron extract, according to the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.

A total of 63 volunteers aged 18 to 70 years participated in the corresponding experiment.. They complained of sleep problems for at least one month, but had no other health problems and did not take any medications..

Participants were divided into two groups. Some within 28 days received 14 mg saffron extract. Others were given a placebo. Moreover, people themselves did not know what they were given.

During the study, participants regularly filled out sleep quality questionnaires.

It turned out that the representatives of the first group began to sleep much better, and the positive effect was already evident during the first week. They also did not show any side effects..

However, scientists made a reservation that sufferers of insomnia do not yet have to take saffron on their own. The mechanism of its effect on the body is not yet clear, and the study was not large enough to study the long-term effects and determine the optimal dosage.
