The therapeutic effects of Andrographis paniculata are attributed to the presence of several bioactive compounds within the plant. This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant potentials of different extracts of Andrographis paniculata, specifically aqueous, carbonated drink and ethanolic extracts, using standard methods. The free radical scavenging potential of these extracts was assessed through 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP), Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) and hydroxyl free radical assays...
