Antioxidant Potential and Phytochemical Screening of a Polyherbal Formulation

Abstract

Plants are the best place to get antioxidants, which can help reduce the damage that free radicals do to cells. The goal of this study is to use an in vitro method to find the best phytochemical and antioxidant characteristics of polyherbal mixtures made from the methanolic extract of Phyllanthus emblica, Moringa oleifera, and Citrus limon leaves. Phytochemical testing showed that the different products contained flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, carbohydrates, amino acids, tannins, steroids, and steroids. The DPPH scavenging experiment was used to test the antioxidant activity of the different extracts and the mixture of herbs. When two or more extracts work together, they create an effect that is stronger than the sum of their individual effects. This is called synergy. Based on the results, P. emblica may be able to fight free radicals better. The multiple herbs worked together to make them more effective. The findings showed that the mixtures made for this study support the polyherbal mixtures' powerful antioxidant qualities. Based on the findings, P. emblica may have better antioxidant activity than other extracts. The multiple herbs worked together to make them more effective.
