Crocin, a bioactive carotenoid found in saffron, is known for its strong anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and mood-enhancing properties. The rising prevalence of neurological disorders, including depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s, has led to increased research into crocin-based treatments. Additionally, the demand for natural anti-aging and cognitive-enhancing supplements has propelled crocin’s adoption in the nutraceutical industry. The pharmaceutical sector has also recognized crocin’s potential in cardiovascular and metabolic disease management, further expanding its applications.
