Swanson Apigenin – Sleep and Relaxation Supplement – Natural Support – 90 Caps, 50 mg (Packaging May Vary)

I've had sleep issues for the past 4 months (Insomnia - onset & Maintenace). I've tried numerous aids, over the counter, natural and prescription. I'm now staying clear of the prescription stuff for the obvious reasons as well as they don't even work that great. I'm taking 50mg of Apigenin before bed, 200 mg of Magnesium Glycinate about 3 hours before bed and CBD/CBN full spectrum close to bedtime (9-9;30). The Apigenin was the latest addition as of the last couple of nights. The others have been my routine for about 6 weeks. The issue I was still having was some prolonged challenges falling asleep but major difficulty with going back to sleep after waking up between 12;30 - 3;00 AM.With adding the Apigenin its' been 8hrs with only one or two awakenings for which I am able to go right back to sleep. I don't know if this partly a synergistic response to all the supplements or Apigenin alone. However, the great nights' sleep has been most welcomed.

Keeps me asleep better than any prescription medication I’ve tried. Doesn’t make me drowsy either. Even if I wake up I fall back asleep in seconds.

I sleep so sound & now have my whole Family in love with this supplement!! Works!! Great product! Great brand!

This extract is found in celery, chamomile and grapefruit. It is not very bioavailable and little has been done to test improvements on this. Black pepper extract may help, so might certain oils or fats. Apigenin is lipid soluble. According to some research, bioavailability of apigenin may be limited to 11mg per 100mg. This bottle contains capsules 50mg each, meaning two may get you 11mg at most.Apigenin is found in chamomile tea, so simply drinking more of this at night may accomplish the same goal, though it is currently unknown just how much apigenin is in any one glass of tea, much less how much of it is absorbed.Apigenin is actually gaining popularity because of the possibility that it may inhibit CD38, a major NAD+ consumer which increases with age, causing the noted depletion of NAD+. For more info on NAD+ just google it. Rise in CD38 may be due to any number of factors further upstream, such as inflammation. Take care that your diet is not inflammatory first. Depending on your age, diet and other factors you may notice different results with this product. That said, rather than taking NAD+ precursors, this may be a better, and relatively cheaper alternative. Until studies show us more, or until recent drugs targeting CD38 pass phase III trials, this is all we have.Swanson is currently the only vendor selling apigenin extract. Previous labels claimed it was standardized to 96%. The new label mentions nothing about this. Swanson, subject to UK regulation, is still hit or miss on Labdoor and analysis on this product has never been done. You may or may not be getting the real deal.

Helps. When used with magnesium

Despite eating healthy and exercising regularly I was having trouble sleeping. My lifestyle factors where not the problem so I turned to supplements. I use this product in conjunction with L-theanine and Magnesium bi-glycinate and on occasion ashwaganda, this combination has greatly improved the quality of my sleep.

The bottle and listing don’t reveal where they source the apigenin powder from. This could be potentially dangerous. I’m surprised they try to conceal this information.

Use maybe once a week. What a great sleep. Deep and restful. Does it help with my prostrate? No idea.
