Chamomile
Rated sleep a little better. No extra sleep.
Grade B: Some human proof
Small, early or mixed results in people.
The grade is for the use people talk about, not for every use. Filed under: Sleep and stress.
How it works
An herb, usually taken as tea or extract. Apigenin is one of its compounds.
How it was given in studies
By mouth. In the trials people swallowed it as a capsule, tablet, powder or drink.
This is what the studies did. It is not a how-to.
What studies saw
A review of 10 trials in 772 people: sleep-quality scores improved, but people did not sleep longer.
The trade-off
Results were very inconsistent. We found no trial of apigenin by itself for sleep.
When it showed up, in studies
Trial lengths varied. No clear timeline.
