UNS Apigenina 15 caps - dietary supplement for stress
Apigenina is a true treasure of nature that fits perfectly into supplementation supporting emotional health. The action of the dietary supplement is aimed at supporting the work of the nervous system, reducing inflammation, but also protects the prostate. Apigenin is a dye that gives plants a yellow color, but its role in the human body goes much further than just the aesthetic function.
Advantages of using apigenin:
- Anti-inflammatory effect
- Reduces stress
- Limits free radicals
- Supports regeneration
Apigenin – what exactly is it?
To put it simply, apigenin is an organic chemical compound from the flavonoid group. Flavonoids are natural plant dyes that not only give fruits and vegetables beautiful colors, but above all play a protective role for plants, defending them against the harmful effects of external factors, such as UV radiation or pathogen attacks.
Natural sources of apigenin
- Chamomile flowers: It is to apigenin that chamomile owes its famous calming and relaxing properties.
- Parsley: Both the leaves and the root of parsley are an excellent source of this flavonoid.
- Celery: Another vegetable worth including in your diet to benefit from the wealth of apigenin.
- Citrus fruits:And in particular grapefruits, which became the basis for the UNS Apigenin supplement, offering a high concentration of this valuable compound.
The problem is that in order to provide the body with a dose of apigenin that could produce the desired therapeutic effect, you would have to consume huge amounts of these products every day. That is why supplementation becomes a convenient and effective solution.
UNS Apigenin - the action of a dietary supplement
Apigenin reduces stress
One of the most valued and best documented actions of apigenin is its effect on the nervous system. If you have trouble falling asleep, feel internal tension after a hard day, or simply want deeper relaxation, apigenin can become your silent ally.
How does apigenin reduce stress?
The calming effect of apigenin is its ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and act on GABA receptors (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain. GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in our nervous system. To put it simply, its task is to "calm down" excessive neuronal activity. Apigenin, by binding to these receptors, enhances the effect of GABA, which leads to:
- Reduces anxiety and nervous tension.
- Facilitates the process of falling asleep.
- Improves the quality of sleep, which becomes deeper and more regenerative.
Unlike some synthetic sleep medications, apigenin does not usually cause drowsiness and "foggyness" the next day. It allows the body to naturally calm down, preparing it for a healthy, peaceful rest.
Antioxidant effect
Our body is constantly exposed to free radicals. They are created as a result of metabolic processes, but their production is increased by stress, environmental pollution, unhealthy diet or smoking. Excess free radicals lead to so-called oxidative stress, which damages cells, proteins and DNA, accelerating the aging process and contributing to the development of many civilization diseases.
Apigenin is a powerful antioxidant. Its action in this field is twofold:
- Directly neutralizes free radicals: It acts as a "scavenger", catching and neutralizing reactive oxygen species before they can cause damage to the body.
- Strengthens the body's natural defense mechanisms: It can stimulate the production of its own antioxidant enzymes, building long-term protection against oxidative stress.
Apigenin supports the prostate
Prostate health is an extremely important aspect of every man's life, especially after the age of 40. Scientific research increasingly indicates the potential role of apigenin in maintaining the proper condition of this gland. This action is multidirectional and includes, among others, impact on signaling pathways in prostate cells and anti-inflammatory properties. Apigenin supplementation, as part of a healthy lifestyle and regular preventive check-ups, can be a valuable element of taking care of men's health.
Anti-inflammatory properties of apigenin
Inflammation is the body's natural defense response to infection or injury. The problem occurs when inflammation becomes chronic, of low intensity. Such a smoldering "fire" in the body can destroy tissue for years and contribute to the development of heart disease, diabetes or neurodegenerative diseases. Apigenin has the ability to inhibit key pro-inflammatory molecules such as cytokines. This can help maintain a healthy inflammatory response and alleviate chronic inflammation.

What to combine apigenin with?
Apigenin works great on its own, but its potential can be further enhanced by combining it with other supplements that have synergistic effects.
- For better sleep and relaxation: Consider combining with magnesium (especially in the form of glycinate or citrate), L-theanine (an amino acid from green tea), or lemon balm extract.
- For enhanced antioxidant action: Combine with vitamin C, quercetin (another flavonoid), or resveratrol.
- For prostate health support: Can be used together with saw palmetto extract or lycopene.
