How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Apigenin reduces the release of inflammatory signaling molecules from aged human skin cells in laboratory cultures.

See the scientific wording

Apigenin suppresses the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines from senescent human fibroblasts in vitro.

Why this might work

Apigenin blocks a cellular alarm system triggered by damaged cells, preventing the release of inflammatory signals that attract immune cells and cause tissue irritation.

  1. Study: Apigenin suppresses the senescence-associated secretory phenotype and paracrine effects on breast cancer cells

    Apigenin, a natural compound found in some plants, was shown to reduce the inflammatory signals released by old, damaged human skin cells in a lab dish. It didn’t kill the cells, but made them less noisy and less harmful.
