What is apigenin?
Apigenin is a natural compound known as a flavonoid, found in many fruits and vegetables such as parsley, onions, oranges, and chamomile. Researchers are investigating its potential to promote cellular health within various tissues. Some of the most promising work to date is being done with regard to the prostate, but research shows apigenin benefits within other tissues as well.
Apigenin may induce muscle relaxation and sedation depending on the dose and it is also active as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-amyloidogenic, neuroprotective, and cognition-enhancing substance with interesting potential in the treatment/prevention of Alzheimer’s disease - source https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6472148/#:~:text=Apigenin%20may%20induce%20muscle%20relaxation,treatment%2Fprevention%20of%20Alzheimer's%20disease.
Other benefits
-
Anti-inflammatory properties: Apigenin may help reduce inflammation in the body, which is beneficial because chronic inflammation is linked to various diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
-
Antioxidant effects: It can help combat oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals, which are harmful molecules that can damage cells.
-
Healthy cell division: Some studies suggest that apigenin may inhibit the growth of unhealthy cells by inducing cell death and blocking certain pathways essential for incorrect cell growth.
-
Anxiety and depression: Apigenin has been noted for its potential calming effects, possibly by binding to benzodiazepine receptors in the brain, which can help to alleviate anxiety and improve mood.
-
Heart health: By potentially reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, apigenin might also contribute to better heart health.
-
Neuroprotective effects: There is some evidence suggesting that apigenin could protect nerve cells from damage and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
-
Supports bone health: Research has suggested that apigenin may help promote bone formation and support bone health.
