Scientists from India ( Bhawya. 2010 ) investigated the antioxidant potential of various extracts of Tinospora Cordifolia (the primary ingredient in LG Sciences Test Booster Natadrol ) and found that ... Methanolic, ethanolic and water extracts showed significant antioxidant potential compared to other solvents and also possess metal chelation and reducing power activity . In the DPPH radical scavenging activity, methanolic extract (98.13%) showed high antioxidant potency, ethanolic extract (90.34%) was a potent scavenger of superoxide radical. At the same time, both methanolic (97.08%) and ethanolic extracts (95.21%) inhibited hydroxyl radical along with other extracts. The metal chelation in methanolic (60.62%), ethanolic (57.62%), aqueous extracts (40.89%) and r...
