Evidence comparison

Quercetin vs Apigenin

How they actually compare on the evidence — trial volume, literature, mechanism, and our honest confidence grade. Higher counts reflect research attention, not proof of superiority.

Key active: Quercetin (flavonoid)

Early human senolytic trials (D+Q); anti-inflammatory data

Quercetin modulates inflammation and, combined with dasatinib (D+Q), is the most-studied senolytic regimen in early human trials for senescence-associated conditions.

Key active: Apigenin (flavone — CD38 inhibitor & SIRT1 modulator)

Strong preclinical (CD38/NAD+/SIRT1); human cancer/anti-inflammatory trials

Apigenin inhibits CD38, an ectoenzyme that consumes ~60% of cellular NAD+. This creates mechanistic synergy with NMN/NR: more precursor + less degradation. Apigenin also modulates SIRT1, CK2, and NF-κB. Most longevity evidence is preclinical; anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory human trials are ongoing.
