| '''Apigenin''' (also known as '''4',5,7-trihydroxyflavone''') is a substance of the [[flavonoid]] class present in chamomile tea and other dietary sources. It has potential [[Anxiety suppression|anti-anxiety]] and [[Sedation|sedative]] effects in humans, and is commonly used in traditional medicine for these purposes<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2995283/#:~:text=TRADITIONAL%20USE%20OF%20CHAMOMILE&text=As%20a%20traditional%20medicine%2C%20it,ailments%20(29%2C%2030).</ref>. However, its efficacy as an [[anxiolytic]] has only been scientifically studied and confirmed in mice<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7617761/</ref>. It is believed to produce its effects by enhancing the activity of the neurotransmitter [[GABA]]. Apart from chamomile tea, apigenin is found in many other food sources in smaller quantities<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10942912.2016.1207188#:~:text=Apigenin%20is%20abundantly%20present%20in,sprouts%2C%20and%20in%20some%20seasonings.</ref>.
