Apigenin

For sleep support, take 1-3 capsules 20-30 minutes before sleep. If your goal is to increase NAD levels by inhibiting the enzyme CD38, take 2-4 capsules per day before bed.

Apigenin is fat-soluble, meaning it is best absorbed by the body when taken with a fat source. Healthy options for this are avocado, yoghurt, coconut or extra virgin olive oil.

CD38 inhibitors are not recommended when fighting an active infection. CD38 helps regulate immune cell activity and promotes the production of important inflammatory molecules that control and eliminate pathogens.

Apigenin Capsule 1

What is it?

Apigenin is a flavonoid found in plants like chamomile and parsley. It has been used for centuries in traditional remedies for its anti-inflammatory and calming effects, often to reduce anxiety and support digestion. More recently, it has been studied for its role in preserving NAD levels and its potential to improve sleep and reduce oxidative stress.

CD38 & NAD Levels

The enzyme CD38 consumes significant amounts of NAD in its role in immune signalling and inflammatory responses. Apigenin has been identified as a CD38 inhibitor, binding to CD38 and blocking its activity. This action helps control inflammatory responses and preserves NAD levels.

Sleep

Apigenin supports GABA by binding to GABA receptors, enhancing GABA’s calming effects in the nervous system. This interaction helps enhance GABA’s ability to reduce excessive neuronal firing, leading to a calming effect on the brain, which can promote relaxation and aid sleep.

Inflammation

Some studies have shown that Apigenin can control the NF-kB pathway, which regulates inflammation, by binding to and blocking the activity of an enzyme (IKK) that starts the pathway. This stops NF-kB from entering the cell and activating genes that produce inflammatory molecules.

Why is it important?

NAD is essential for cellular energy production, supporting optimal cellular repair and stress response, and activating longevity-related enzymes like sirtuins. However, NAD levels decline with age, stress, poor diet, and metabolic dysfunction. This reduction impacts energy production, accelerates cellular damage, and reduces the body’s ability to repair itself.

Healthy sleep is also essential for overall health. During sleep, the brain consolidates new information, aiding memory and learning, while the body repairs itself. Key hormones like melatonin and growth hormone are released, supporting detoxification, muscle growth, and the production of neurochemicals like dopamine and serotonin. However, modern life disrupts sleep with factors such as blue light, noise, and late-night eating, which increase stress and hinder the production of the neurochemicals needed for restful sleep.

Apigenin and longevity

As we age, levels of chemicals that consume NAD increase while the body’s ability to produce NAD declines. By inhibiting the CD38 enzyme, apigenin may help preserve NAD levels necessary for maintaining cellular energy and function with age. Additionally, sleep quality often decreases as we get older. By increasing GABA, a calming neurotransmitter, Apigenin may reduce stress and improve sleep quality, both essential for minimising cellular damage.

Is Apigenin right for you?

Apigenin is formulated to support cellular energy and sleep.

Consider the following statements. If you find one or more relatable, Apigenin might be the product you’ve been searching for:

  • I’ve read that apigenin can help increase NAD+ levels by slowing the activity of CD38, and I’m interested in including it in my longevity protocol to support cellular health and vitality.
  • I have trouble sleeping and am searching for a natural alternative to sleep medications.
  • I want to support my body’s natural anti-inflammatory processes.
  • I’ve struggled to find a natural solution for managing anxiety and stress. I’m intrigued by apigenin’s potential to act as a mild sedative, promoting relaxation without the side effects of pharmaceuticals.
  • My healthcare professional recommended exploring natural compounds that support longevity and wellness, and apigenin came highly recommended.

Certainty of purity.

We are committed to the following quality controls to ensure consistency, reliability, and transparency in every product. Our goal is to raise industry standards and give you clear reasons to trust what you’re taking.

All products are made to cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, the global benchmark for supplement quality. GMP standards ensure strict control over how our supplements are produced, covering everything from cleanliness to documentation and quality control. Every step is monitored to guarantee consistency and safety in every batch, so you receive the same high-quality product every time.

Created by the US FDA, GMP regulations legally require manufacturers to ensure product safety, purity, and effectiveness. GMP minimises contamination, mix-ups, and errors, protecting consumers from ineffective or unsafe products.

GMP Guidelines Overview:

  • Manufacturing facilities must maintain a clean, hygienic environment in all areas, including labs and storage.
  • Facility design, operations, and environmental conditions must prevent cross-contamination of drug products and materials.
  • Manufacturing processes must be clearly defined, validated, and controlled to ensure consistency and compliance. Any process changes are evaluated for patient safety and product quality, with necessary validation.
  • Instructions and procedures must be written clearly and unambiguously.
  • Operators must be trained to follow approved procedures for production and control.
  • Records should be kept during manufacturing and quality control to confirm that all required steps and quality standards were met.
  • Discrepancies are investigated and documented.

    Records of manufacturing and distribution must be retained in an accessible format to trace the complete batch history.

At the foundation of what we offer is certainty of product quality through consistent third-party testing, specifically for purity.

In an industry where many supplement providers cannot be fully certain of their product quality, third-party testing is essential to ensure purity and safety. This process removes uncertainty, so you can be confident that you’re taking supplements that are both safe and effective.

Every active ingredient in every batch of vitalityPRO products is independently tested by accredited laboratories to ensure unbiased analysis of purity.

Additional third-party testing screens for contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microbes, ensuring that each product is safe for consumption. Although certificates are provided by the manufacturer, this independent validation goes beyond standard testing, adding an extra layer of quality control.

Independent third-party testing ensures that you receive reliable, high-quality products every time.

ISO 9001:2015 standards are an internationally recognised framework for effective quality management. This accreditation means we follow a structured system of continuous improvement, always refining our processes to enhance product consistency and customer satisfaction. ISO accreditation ensures that every aspect of our operations—from production to customer service—is optimised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Apigenin has been identified as a CD38 inhibitor, binding to CD38 and blocking its activity. The enzyme CD38 consumes significant amounts of NAD in its role in immune signalling and inflammatory responses. This action helps control excessive inflammatory responses and preserves NAD levels.

Your Apigenin product is sourced from natural Grapefruit Peel extract.

Apigenin may improve sleep quality by binding to receptors in the brain that correspond with sleep and sleepiness. Apigenin is found abundantly in chamomile tea, which is believed to explain its similarly sedative effect.

Apigenin is considered safe for daily use over an extended period. However, if taking it for sleep, some individuals may develop a tolerance with prolonged use. We recommend taking a short break every few weeks to maintain maximum efficacy.

Some research suggests that consistent use of apigenin may help lower elevated levels of cortisol. If you are concerned about high cortisol, we suggest that you speak to your doctor before taking apigenin.
