Red gold
One kilo of saffron requires the stigmas of more than 150,000 crocus flowers, which are picked by hand. That is why saffron is, per gram, one of the most expensive spices in the world and is also called red gold. Safr'Inside™ is an extract standardised for the colour and aroma compounds of saffron.

Neurochemistry and neurotransmitters
Neurochemistry covers biochemical processes in the brain, in which neurotransmitters do their work as signalling molecules. This complex interplay varies from person to person and is influenced by both internal and external factors. 'Brain food supplements' are a group of formulations with natural substances and precursors of specific neurotransmitters.
L-tyrosine
L-tyrosine is an amino acid that serves as a precursor of dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. This aromatic amino acid occurs naturally in the body and in food (including cheese, meat, fish, oats and avocado). L-tyrosine was discovered in 1846 by the German chemist Justus von Liebig. He found it in casein protein, which occurs in cheese and dairy.
Safr'Inside™ and Curcugen®: at their best together
Saffron (Crocus sativus) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) form a strong combination. Saffron extract, made from dried pistils, is one of the most precious spices in the world. Standardised products such as Safr'Inside™ undergo a specific production process that guarantees the concentration of active substances. This is of course important for the effect! Curcugen® is an innovative turmeric extract, one of the most researched herbs, developed for optimal bioavailability. This patented extract contains a high concentration of natural curcuminoids in their original form, with the oils also preserved. The active components of saffron and turmeric seem to complement each other well. There is an overlap but certainly also a synergy between safranal, crocin, picrocrocin, curcuminoids, turmerosaccharides, turmerones and oleoresins, among others.
Ginkgo biloba extract
Ginkgo biloba extract comes from the leaves of the maidenhair tree, one of the oldest tree species in the world (at least 215 million years old). This tree species even survived the dinosaurs and can withstand extreme conditions. It is the only tree that survived the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, which makes it a unique species. Ginkgo biloba extract supports blood circulation and cognitive functions such as memory, concentration and learning ability (health claim awaiting European authorisation). In Dopamine Nutrients, ginkgo biloba extract is an important factor in the blend of six ingredients.
Royal jelly: the superfood of bees
Royal jelly is the superfood of the bee world because it can extend the lifespan of queen bees up to 40 times compared with worker bees. This remarkable substance contains royalactin, a protein that stimulates the development of bee larvae into queens. It is also interesting for humans: its composition is complex and it is packed with bioactive components.
