Why the colour changed
What a real saffron capsule looks like:
Real: Life Extension saffron capsule, a customer's photo
(r/Supplements). Cream to pale peach powder with red-orange flecks. Other buyers in the thread: "cream colored" or "light pinkish".Lab record: Nootropics Depot 30 mg saffron capsule, Certificate of Analysis ND-26-596 (May 2026), "Appearance: Light Orange
Powder with Red Specs in Clear Capsule".Real: Sunday Natural Saffron Extract,
30 mg (7.5% crocin, gum arabic filler), from their product photo. Apricot-orange fill with fine darker flecks. It is deeper than ours will be: twice
our crocin in a smaller fill.What ours should look like: 30 mg extract at 3.5% (about half the colour of the two 7.5% products) in 220 mg white
glycine, so paler than Nootropics Depot and Sunday Natural, close to the Life Extension photo: pale peach with red-orange flecks. Not tan or brown.
The exact shade still needs one real capsule from the manufacturer.Ours now: beige-tan fill with brown specks, the L-Methylfolate look.
Ours is 30 mg extract + 220 mg white glycine, so it should look like the real one above: cream to pale peach with red-orange flecks.
