Abstract The purpose of my project is to provide an alternative solution for low serotonin levels, particularly targeted towards teens and young adults who can be easily influenced to purchase harmful medications from a misinformed perspective. It focuses on natural supplements, particularly saffron extract, as it is an option that is understudied and also an OTC form of medicine, making it more easily accessible.
