What is it about?
Use of molecules with antioxidant properties have evolved as effective strategy for preventing oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species. Moringa oleifera and Hibiscus sabdariffa are ancient plants with antioxidant properties, and have served numerous therapeutic purposes, in addition to their nutritional benefits. This in vitro study compared the free radical scavenging efficacy of ethylacetate leaves extract of Moringa oleifera and ethylacetate petal extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa.
