 This study examined the safety of saffron consumption by pregnant mice and their offspring. The results showed that saffron had no significant effects on the livers and kidneys of the offspring, but did increase levels of urea nitrogen in the blood of the offspring. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women limit their intake of saffron to avoid potential harm to their unborn children.
