The name of this miraculous ingredient is saffron. Yes, many experts around the world think that saffron is one of the easiest way to improve your eyesight naturally.

Saffron Might Save Your Eyesight

First, you should know that saffron can slow the progression of eye diseases like macular degeneration, which causes blindness. Let me ask you a simple question – have you ever heard of saffron? Collected by hand from the deep red stamens of the saffron crocus, the saffron spice is worth up to $800 per pound depending on its quality. It is used in a variety of applications including as a food spice, a coloring agent, and a treatment for disease. Some 90 illnesses, and counting, can be treated with saffron.

What’s saffron? Well, saffron is a spice that contains the antioxidant carotenoids crocin and crocetin among other ingredients, with strong antioxidative, cellular and neuro-protective properties. Crocin from saffron has antioxidant activity stronger than alpha-tocopherol, and can prevent the formation of peroxidized lipids, and can partly restore superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity.

The health benefits of saffron are shown to be due to these two carotenoids.

Note: a recent study has discovered that taking oral supplementation of saffron (20 mg per day) for three months in patients with early stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or ARMD) induced a significant improvement of retinal function and visual acuity.

The famous Professor Silvia Bisti who carried out the research in patients with age-related macular degeneration, “Patients’ vision improved after taking the saffron pill”. This has created a hope that saffron may be the natural answer to stop or delay vision loss from macular degeneration. In the eye study, macular degeneration patients who ate a diet containing saffron began to experience cell recovery, which resulted in improved vision.

Professor Silvia Bisti, the lead researcher of the study, said:

“Saffron appears to affect genes that regulate the fatty-acid content of the cell membrane, and this makes the vision cells tougher and more resilient.”.

How much saffron is recommended? Can we get it in our diet or is supplementation necessary?

Well, the medical experts say that you should follow these instructions: for the eye health benefits, one needs to take 20 mg of high quality saffron per day. Yes, one can take similar amount of saffron spice that is added to the food or prepared as a tea.
