Hey Steve read great things about apigenin but the articles always said the bioavailability was extremely low like one percent. Would this product improve on that, and do you have testing showing improvement on the bioavailability? Not a skeptic as SNS and CEL are my 2 go to companies.
Apigenin can be derived from a variety of different plants and the percentage of Apigenin is normally very very low, usually just a couple of %'s points. So for example, if you take 200 mg. of a product std. to 1.8% Apigenin, you're only getting 3.6 mg. of actual Apigenin.
Then, there are higher yield Apigenin ingredients on the market and most of them are dosed at 50 mg. or so. So these provided a nice alternative for people that wanted to dose Apigenin higher than had been possible before.
In terms of absorption, there is some confusing ways of it being presented - meaning that for example, if one source says that Apigenin has a 30% absorption rate (just an example), then are they talking about the compound itself only has that if isolated or are they saying that if you take 200 mg. of a 1.8% that the Apigenin content has a low absorption rate? Because those are two very different things bc there could be other factors affecting the absorption - for example, other phytonutrients competing for absorption. I'm not saying that's what it is, just giving an example.
Api-Plex is very different.
- It is not like above paragraph #1 because we offer higher yield Apigenin.
- And its not like paragraph #2 because most companies offer 50 mg. per capsule
Api-Plex contains 200 mg. Apigenin per capsule plus added absorption enhancers - AstraGin and Bioperine.
