A flavonoid compound found in many plants, particularly in parsley, celery, and chamomile, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
From Latin apis (bee) via apium (parsley) + chemical suffix -in. This plant compound was isolated and named in the 19th century when chemists were categorizing plant flavonoids.
Apigenin is the compound that makes chamomile tea calming—it's a natural chemical that plants produce, and now scientists are studying it for potential medical uses!
