Apigenin & Lemon Balm leading to poor sleep quality?
Original post in this thread

The past couple of nights i've taken 200mg Apigenin with 500mg 10:1 lemon balm and had some pretty poor quality sleep . I took the apigenin in the evening around 8pm and the lemon balm about half an hour before bed (10:30pm). I have taken both individually and had no issues so was wondering if there was anyone else who had experienced this and why this might be?

Try lowering the doses. Some things can have weird dose/response curves, and taking a higher dose of something that is sedating at low doses can actually cause stimulation. I know for a fact it happens with lemon balm. It's usually the Cyracos lemon balm, but you might be sensitive. Try cutting the lemon balm dose in half and seeing if that does anything. You might also need to cut the apigenin down. This is why we released the 50mg capsules. Not every dose works best for every person.
