  • So I hear that Saffron is the new supplement for RP. Has anyone heard this? Where can we get it and at what doses should we take it?

  • Here is a link to a study concerning the effects of saffron on vision:

    I have spoken to some people about this, and apparently there are some saffron pills out there that are very expensive and hard to come by. I don't know where you get them from though. And to the best of my knowledge there is no information on what a recommened dosage would be required.
    The best bet for now would be to add saffron to your cooking, as I have been told that even in small quantities has high medicinal content, so best to always keep to the recipe.

    It does inspire some hope though. I would hope the FFB would come out with some more information on this in the near future.

  • I found and purchased Saffron in tablet form. Search Exir and Saffron on Amazon.
