Forgive me if it's not worthy of it's own thread but I was just surprised to see some studies on Saffron and mitochondrial dynamics, IE

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36875162/

and, From GPT

"..a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2014 found that crocin, a major component of saffron, protected neuronal cells against oxidative stress-induced damage by preserving mitochondrial function. Another study in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics in 2015 suggested that crocin could mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease models."

FWIW personally I'll throw it in the stack for a few weeks- per a scarcity of negative testimonials
