Galangin is a flavonol, a type of flavonoid. It is found in high concentrations in Alpinia officinarum (lesser galangal)^[1] and Helichrysum aureonitens.^[2] It is also found in the galangal rhizome (Alpinia galanga)^[3] and in propolis.^[4] Galangin has been shown to have in vitro antibacterial^[5]^[6] and antiviral activity.^[7] The flavonol also inhibits the growth of breast tumor cells in vitro.^[8]^[9]
