Benefits of Chamomile Extract Apigenin

1. Anti-inflammatory Properties

Apigenin has demonstrated powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Studies show that it can significantly reduce inflammation markers in the body by up to 40%, making it beneficial in managing chronic inflammatory conditions.

2. Antioxidant Effects

With its high antioxidant capacity, apigenin helps neutralize free radicals. It has an oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) value of approximately 800 units per gram, aiding in the prevention of oxidative stress-related diseases.

3. Cancer Prevention

Research indicates that apigenin may suppress the growth of various cancer cells. A study showed that a concentration of 20-50 µM effectively inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer cells by 60% without affecting normal cells.

4. Anxiolytic and Sedative Effects

Chamomile extract, particularly apigenin, is renowned for its calming effects. Clinical trials reported that doses of 200-400 mg led to a 30% reduction in anxiety symptoms.

5. Cardiovascular Health

Apigenin improves heart health by promoting vasodilation and reducing blood pressure. It has been shown to decrease systolic blood pressure in hypertensive rats by 15% in preclinical studies.
