Baicalein (5,6,7 trihydroxyflavone) is a natural flavonoid known for its powerful relaxing, antioxidant and circulatory-supporting properties. It is commonly used to promote relaxation, support restful sleep, calm cognitive clarity, and aid joint health. Extracted from the Baikal Skullcap (Blue Skullcap) plant and also found in related Scutellaria species, this aglycone derivative of Baicalin, Baicalein, offers a potent, well-absorbed form, making it ideal for supporting overall wellness and healthy aging.

Baicalein Benefits and Uses

Similarities and Differences Between Baicalin and Baicalein

Baicalin and Baicalein are closely related flavonoids derived from the Scutellaria baicalensis (Baikal Skullcap) plant, both known for their antioxidant and wellness-supporting properties. However, there are some key differences:

  • Structure and Absorption:

    • Baicalin is the glycosylated form (bound to a sugar molecule) of Baicalein, which affects its bioavailability. It is generally more slowly absorbed by the body but may offer sustained benefits over time due to its gradual metabolism.
    • Baicalein, on the other hand, is the aglycone form (without a sugar molecule) and is absorbed more quickly, offering faster but potentially shorter-lived effects compared to Baicalin.
  • Bioavailability:

    • Baicalein has higher bioavailability due to its ability to be absorbed more efficiently. This makes it ideal for individuals looking for quicker, more immediate effects.
    • Baicalin is less bioavailable but may be metabolized into Baicalein within the body, providing longer-lasting benefits.
  • Benefits:

    • Both compounds share similar benefits in promoting antioxidant activity, supporting the cardiovascular system, and enhancing cognitive function. However, Baicalein may provide quicker support for stress relief and cognitive enhancement, while Baicalin offers more gradual, sustained effects.
  • Duration of Benefits:

    • Baicalein tends to act faster due to its higher absorption rate, making it useful for short-term, immediate relief or support.
    • Baicalin, with its slower absorption and metabolism, may provide more consistent, longer-lasting benefits over extended periods.

This compound, Baicalein, has 2-3 times better efficacy (in terms of absorption) than Baicalin and is best known for its antioxidant and circulatory system-supporting effects. Anecdotally, some users report mild stress-relief and relaxing effects when using this supplement.

Baicalein is known by a number of alternative names, including:

  • Scutellaria baicalensis
  • Huang qin
  • Scutellariae radix
  • Baikal Skullcap
  • Blue Skullcap
  • Golden Root
  • 5,6,7-Trihydroxy-2-phenyl-chromen-4-one
  • 5,6,7-Trihydroxyflavone

Scientific Consensus

Baicalein is an alkaloid compound extracted from the Skullcap plant with stronger efficacy than Baicalin. It is considered likely safe for use at the suggested serving size. Baicalein may interact with some medications, including alcohol. Do not exceed the recommended serving size.

Caution: There is not enough research about the safety of Baicalein for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Do not use this supplement if you have any underlying medical conditions – especially bleeding disorders, diabetes, hormone-sensitive conditions, or low blood pressure. Avoid use for up to 2 weeks before surgery.
