Saffron has a deep body of research behind its role in mood and attention for children, and that research is why it sits in Stasis Kids Daytime. The formula uses SAFFR'ACTIV® Saffron at 30 mg, the exact branded extract and dose studied in children and adolescents, to support a positive mood through the everyday ups and downs of school, friendships, and changing routines*.
Most spice cabinet ingredients do not have pediatric studies behind them. Saffron is an exception. In a three-month study, 63 children and adolescents ages 7 to 17 took 30 mg of SAFFR'ACTIV® Saffron each day. Across that period, participants saw improvements in attention and occasional restlessness, in parent-rated attention, and in measures of everyday executive function (PMC9573091). What makes this notable is that it studied the same branded extract and dose used in Stasis Kids Daytime, rather than a generic saffron at an unrelated amount.
Saffron has a growing body of evidence supporting the serotonin and dopamine pathways involved in mood and focus*. In plain terms, those are some of the systems that shape how a child rides the small frustrations of a normal day: a hard assignment, a friendship bump, a change in routine. Saffron is included to support a steadier, more positive mood through those moments, not to override them.
In an open-label parent survey, 89% of parents reported an improvement in their child's overall mood, and 84% of parents reported a decrease in their child's irritability, after starting Stasis Kids Daytime.†
Saffron does not work alone in Stasis Kids Daytime. It sits alongside KSM-66® Ashwagandha and L-theanine, which support a calm, focused state, plus vitamins D3 and B12 and the mineral selenium. The idea is that mood and attention are shaped by several overlapping systems, so supporting more than one at kid-appropriate doses is more useful than leaning on a single ingredient.
Is saffron safe for children? Saffron has been studied in children and adolescents at the 30 mg dose used in Stasis Kids Daytime. As with any supplement, check with your child's doctor before starting, especially if your child takes a stimulant.
How much saffron is in Stasis Kids Daytime? It contains 30 mg of SAFFR'ACTIV® Saffron, the same branded extract and dose used in the pediatric research.
Will saffron make my child calm or sleepy? Saffron is included to support mood and attention during the day, not as a sedative. The daytime formula is built to support a calm, focused state without drowsiness.
How long until saffron's benefits show up? The pediatric study ran over three months, and individual experiences vary. Daily consistency is the most important factor.
