Saffron against erectile dysfunction

Thus, the group of men who received saffron (30 milligrams per day, divided into two doses) significantly improved their erectile function in more than half of the cases and without adverse effects. These results were verified at two and four weeks of saffron supplementation, and the results were observed to be greater at four weeks, although at two, an improvement in the erection of the male subjects was already perceived as interfering with the daily dose.
