Results: Among these assays, Dhanwanthararishtam exhibited exceptional results at very low concentrations in the FRAP assay, while the ABTS and DPPH assays showed moderate antioxidant activities. Conclusion: These findings clearly demonstrate the antioxidant potential of Dhanwanthararishtam, supporting its medicinal efficacy.
