“…The exogenous intake of antioxidants as a dietary supplement can decrease oxidative damage (Bouayed and Bohn, 2010;Zhu et al, 2023). Besides plants' flavonoids, phenolics and other phytoconstituents have been reported to exert numerous biological activities, including anti-tumour, antiinflammatory, and antioxidant actions (Gauri et al, 2016;Ullah et al, 2020;Bagchi, 2021;Ghosh et al, 2022;Acharya et al, 2022a, b;Bee et al, 2023;Jakkana and Yamala, 2024). Hence, there is a growing exploration for natural, economic and more effective antioxidant compounds derived from medicinal plants, such as phenolic acids, polyphenols, and flavonoids, than synthetic drugs (Sacchetti et al, 2005;Maiti et al, 2010Maiti et al, , 2013Biswas et al, 2016;Nasim et al, 2022;Hore and Bhaben, 2023;Dey-Ray et al, 2024).…”
