What is Apigenin?
Apigenin (4′,5,7-trihydroxyflavone), a natural plant flavonoid, is the aglycon of some naturally occurring glycosides. Apigenin widely exists in the leaves and stems of tropical vegetables.
Apigenin, a known bioflavonoid, has exhibited various biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, ant-genotoxic, anti-allergic, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, and antimicrobial.
Food Sources of Apigenin
Apigenin is one of the nutrients that are abundantly present in green vegetables such as parsley, onions, maize, wheat sprouts, and in fruits such as grapefruit, oranges, and so on.
However, One of the most frequent sources of apigenin is celery (Apium graveolens), a marsh plant in the Apiaceae family cultivated as a vegetable since antiquity. Apigenin is the most extracted nutrient in celery, containing 108 mg of apigenin per kg.
Other sources for apigenin include beverages such as wine and beer brewed from natural ingredients in natural sources like Chamomilla Recutita.
Apigenin VS Quercetin
Quercetin powder, a potent antioxidant, is one of the richest flavonoids in the human diet. Quercetin is an essential molecule known to supplement vitamin C; it possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergic properties.
Quercetin and Apigenin are chemical molecules belonging to the flavonoid group, the flavonol family.
Compared to Apigenin, quercetin increases the reducibility of flavonoids when combined with metal ions, making it oxidized by free radicals more easily.
From the chemical structure, quercetin is different from Apigenin due to adding a hydroxyl group in C3.
Compared to quercetin, Apigenin is a more potent flavonoid as it can efficiently inhibit an enzyme CD38, which plays a significant role in NAD+ levels in the body.
Apigenin & NMN
NMN bulk powder is a precursor and activator of NAD+ and is considered one of the most promising supplements for slowing aging. Since NMN gets converted into NAD+ in your body, it can replenish NAD+ to youthful levels effectively, helping you regain and maintain vibrant health and energy through the years.
Apigenin is one of the best NAD boosters that target diverse mechanisms of aging at the cellular level and work in collaboration with NMN to improve your NAD+ levels by inhibiting the enzyme CD38.
How does Apigenin work?
Apigenin is a common dietary flavonoid in many fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs. It serves various physiological functions, such as antioxidant, potent anti-inflammatory, antiviral activities, antibacterial, and blood pressure reduction.
Pharmacological properties of apigenin
Apigenin has been attached to great importance in recent years as a beneficial health promoter because of its lower intrinsic toxicity and its health effects on regular versus cells, compared with other structurally related flavonoids.
