Overview
Apigenin (4',5,7-trihydroxyflavone) is a flavone naturally present in chamomile, parsley, celery, oranges and many other edible plants. Our material is extracted from chamomile flowers and purified to ≥98% HPLC, suitable for dietary supplement R&D, cosmetic raw-material development and analytical reference work.
