Abstract

There is an increasing interest in natural antioxidants, such as polyphenols, present in medicinal and dietary plants, which might help preventing oxidative damages caused by free radicals. Free radicals are chemical species with a highly reactive single unpaired electron which has been hunted by pair with a new free electron, and as a result of these consequences other free radicals may produce. Herbal medicines have been focused as a new resource of antioxidants elements with limited obstacles. Natural antioxidants can protect the human body from free radicals and delay the growth of many chronic diseases such as retarding the lipid oxidative rancidity in foods. Herbal sourced food antioxidants such as carotenes, phenolic acids, vitamin C, vitamin E and phytoestrogens have been known as having the potential to lessen disease risk. Herbal drugs normally fight these complications with their antioxidant efficacies. A number of them have been detected to capable anti-oxidative ability which could help to diminish free radical formation and promote endogenous antioxidant enzyme activity.
