Expert opinions
Dr. Andrew Huberman
Apigenin is the third component of Huberman's evening protocol: 50mg taken 30 to 60 minutes before bed alongside 145mg magnesium-L-threonate and 100 to 400mg L-theanine. Huberman advises against combining it with high-dose ashwagandha. Sourced standardized (≥98% purity), not from unstandardized chamomile tea.
Recommended dose: 50 mg
