for hair loss, may also inhibit a harmful androgen-inducing protein called TGF-
B1. This compound helps regulate the course of the hair follicle life cycle.

tea is a rich source of apigenin. However, drinking tea alone does not cure
hair loss.

apigenin is also made into health products, medicines, and so on. Apigenin is a
flavonoid that has the activity of inhibiting carcinogenic substances. It can
be used as antivirals to treat HIV and other viral infections and as an
inhibitor of MAP kinase. Like other bioflavonoids, apigenin reduces oxidative
stress, induces cell cycle inhibition, increases the efficacy of liver
detoxifying enzymes, and acts to some extent as an anti-inflammatory.


What is Apigenin Mechanism of Action?
Inhibition of NO production: NO is believed to have good effects, such as
preventing thrombosis and inflammatory reaction, but it also has certain toxic
effects. NO can react with superoxide anion (0-2) to form peroxynitrite
(ONOOH). Apigenin is the strongest inhibitor of PGE and nitrite production,
significantly superior to other flavonoids. It was found that apigenin plays
its role by inhibiting the expression of COX-2 and iNOS at the cellular
transcriptional level.


Is Apigenin Safe?
The radiation resistance of Apigenin is particularly strong. It can prevent a
variety of radioactive substances harmful to the human body. Those who often
contact the source of radiation can add some apigenin, reducing the radiation
damage to a minimum. Apigenin also has a very positive effect on the human
liver. It can improve the ability of the liver to detoxify and prevent damage
caused by drugs to the liver. In addition, it can prevent the occurrence of
liver fibrosis.

Apigenin is a natural substance that can prevent and combat cancer. However,
there are different studies on the effect of apigenin on chemotherapy agents.

In a study of leukaemia cells, the flavonoid was found to reduce the toxicity
of the chemotherapy agent adriamycin. This means apigenin could increase the
severity of the use of this agent in the treatment of leukemia.
