10 Benefits of Saffron
Saffron Benefit #3: Improves Bone Strength
Some minerals in saffron are linked to the body’s ability to absorb calcium. Maximizing calcium absorption improves bone mineral density and inhibits conditions like osteoporosis. Calcium moves from the small intestine to the blood and then is transported to bone and other tissues.
However, not all calcium that is ingested through food and supplementation is absorbed in the body. Adding saffron to foods that contain calcium would provide optimal nutrition since saffron increases calcium absorption.
