Apigenin

Chamomile-derived compound taken before bed, usually 50mg

Chamomile's flavonoid, around 50mg in the evening as part of a sleep stack. Proposed mechanism GABAergic; subjective report easier sleep onset rather than deeper sleep. Human evidence is thin, and the usual caution concerns estrogen-sensitive conditions.
