Apigenin is a plant compound found in chamomile and other foods. In a 6-in-1 capsule, it is blended with five other ingredients to support relaxation and cognitive function. This guide explains what is in the capsule, clears up a common mix-up about the "504 mg" figure and covers safety.

What is apigenin?

Apigenin is a flavonoid, a type of plant pigment. It is found in chamomile, parsley, celery and some other foods. A cup of chamomile tea is a familiar way many people unwind in the evening. Supplements put a measured amount of apigenin in a capsule.

A common mix-up: what "504 mg" means

You may see "apigenin 504 mg" online. Each serving of two capsules delivers 504 mg, which is the combined weight of all six ingredients. The apigenin itself is 50 mg. When comparing products, check the number next to each ingredient on the Supplement Facts panel, not only the total.

The six ingredients

The Humming Herbs Apigenin 6-in-1 combines:

1. Apigenin (50 mg), from chamomile extract
2. L-theanine, an amino acid found in tea leaves
3. Bacopa monnieri extract (standardized to 50% bacosides), an herb used in traditional wellness practices
4. Magnesium (as magnesium glycinate), a mineral that contributes to normal nerve and muscle function
5. Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate), which contributes to normal function of the nervous system
6. Black pepper extract, included to support nutrient absorption

A serving is two capsules (504 mg). The suggested use is two capsules once or twice daily, preferably with food or as directed by a healthcare professional. The bottle holds 90 vegetarian capsules, which is a 45-day supply as recommended. The formula is free from sugar, gluten, GMOs and artificial colors. The amber bottle helps protect the contents from light and moisture.

Why a blend?

People who like the calm of a bedtime routine often reach for several things at once: tea, magnesium, an herb. This formula packages related ingredients in one capsule. It is designed to support relaxation and cognitive function, but it is not a sleep aid or a drug, and no claim is made that it affects any sleep disorder.

Building a calm evening routine

A capsule works best next to good habits:

• Keep a regular bedtime and wake time.
• Dim the lights and put screens away an hour before bed.
• Go easy on caffeine late in the day.
• Try a warm drink, a short walk or reading.
• Follow the label: two capsules once or twice daily, preferably with food.

How to read the label

• Each ingredient's amount. The record gives 50 mg apigenin and 504 mg total; check the panel for the others.
• Serving size. Two capsules is one serving.
• Allergen and plant-family warnings. Chamomile is related to ragweed and daisies.
• Directions and warnings.

Talk to your healthcare provider

Talk to your healthcare provider, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, take medication or have a medical condition.

Additional notes: - Sedatives or sleep medicine: ask before combining. This formula includes several calming-type ingredients. - Blood thinners: ask your provider, as some plant compounds may matter. - Hormone-related medicine: ask your provider. - Plant allergies: avoid if you are allergic to chamomile, ragweed or related plants. - Driving or operating machinery: see how you respond before doing so. - Under 18: this is an adult product. Keep out of reach of children, and store in a cool, dry place.

Persistent trouble sleeping is a good reason to speak to a healthcare provider, not to self-manage with supplements.
