"Apigenin at 50mg before sleep can help with sleep onset. It's a mild sedative that works through GABA receptors."

Our take

Part of Huberman's sleep stack. 50mg before bed is the typical dose. It's gentle—don't expect knockout effects—but it helps with sleep onset and quality. Works well combined with magnesium.
