Affron Eye® is a saffron extract from the Crocus sativus flower, standardized to 3% crocin – a carotenoid compound studied for its potential antioxidant content.*
Saffron appears to have a long-standing history in traditional wellness systems and to have more recently drawn scientific attention for its potential role in visual function.*
Our formula is based on the use of high-grade quality saffron cultivated with care and processed to ensure a consistent level of crocin.* Affron Eye® can be taken alone or alongside Macula Plus, another supplement from SuperSmart, formulated to encourage eye wellness.*
Saffron is originally native to Greece, where the first known trace of its culture appeared to have been recorded.* Yet, Affron Eye® is made from saffron stigmas sourced from Crocus sativus, a plant traditionally grown in regions such as Iran, Morocco, and India.* These stigmas are gently extracted to help preserve its naturally occurring compounds like crocin and crocetin.*
Saffron reportedly contains over 100 naturally occurring compounds, including carotenoids such as crocin and crocetin – pigments responsible for its deep orange-red hue.* These compounds seem to have been studied for their possible antioxidant capacity and role in helping eyes adapt to potential daily oxidative challenges.*
According to certain research, antioxidant nutrients like crocin may help maintain normal visual function by potentially helping eyes manage oxidative processes that may occur.*
In some laboratory studies, crocin and crocetin appear to have been shown to support the body’s natural antioxidant defenses in the retina.*
Some clinical studies may also have explored saffron’s potential to encourage already healthy blood flow in the eye.*
Its possible ability to maintain normal photoreceptor function and overall visual balance could make it an interesting option for those looking to encourage long-term visual wellness with a plant-based approach.* (You can check this study for more information).*
While more research is needed, these findings seem to suggest that saffron extract may offer gentle support for visual comfort over time.*
Affron Eye® can be used as part of your daily wellness routine.* We recommend taking 2 capsules a day or as advised by a healthcare professional.*
Affron Eye® can be taken with a meal for optimal absorption.* Some may prefer to take it earlier in the day to help support their visual routine.*
Affron Eye® is encapsulated in vegetarian capsules and contains no animal-derived ingredients.*

Aside that it’s been keeping my eyesight stable, it does help the memory a little bit. I’m glad I started taking this.
