What is trans-sodium crocetinate (TSC) and how does it differ from trans-crocetin?

Label:chem

Topic
Trans-crocetin is the principal bioactive component of saffron, but its clinical development is limited by instability, poor solubility, and low bioavailability.
Answer
TSC is the sodium salt form of trans-crocetin, specifically engineered to enhance solubility, stability, and bioavailability, thereby amplifying its anti-hypoxic potential.
