Nutrients and Heavy Metals in Flowers and Corms of the Saffron Crocus (Crocus sativus L.) [PDF]
Medicinal & Aromatic Plants, 2016 We used ICP mass spectrometry and gas chromatography to examine the nutritional properties of the flower organs of saffron crocus grown in two cultivation fields. The pollenkitt consisted of a variety of mainly unsaturated fatty acids of dietary value, and fats of the same type were also on the anther wall.

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.This PROSPERO‐registered review analysed 37 RCTs on neuronutraceuticals for Alzheimer's disease. Despite diverse targets—amyloid/tau, inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolism, synaptic plasticity, cholinergic and hormonal—the evidence was of low quality. RoB2 flagged attrition (86.5%) and reporting bias (81%). Current data do not support clinical use;
