Flavones are a broad class of plant flavonoid compounds, including apigenin and luteolin, found in foods such as parsley, celery, and citrus peel. Supplement labels sometimes list "flavones" as a general category rather than naming a specific compound.

Why it’s used

Taken as part of general antioxidant or plant-compound supplementation, though the specific reason varies depending on which flavones a product actually contains.

What the evidence says

Because "flavones" is a category rather than a single defined substance, evidence is difficult to summarize collectively. Individual flavones like apigenin and luteolin have been studied in cell and animal models with some human data, but a generic "flavones" listing does not specify which compound, amount, or evidence base applies.

This says what this database holds under these terms. It is not a finding that no research exists.

Context

Research cited for individual flavones uses varying isolated compounds and doses; a blended or unspecified "flavones" ingredient cannot be matched to any single study's protocol.
