Amaranthusgangeticus is a very good medicinal plant.  Our aim is to investigate its invitro antioxidant properties.  Hence 70% ethanolic extract of Amaranthusgangeticus leaves (AGEE) was taken and the parameter studied was superoxide and nitricoxide free radical scavenging activities. In–vitro models were carried out to evaluate its antioxidant activities. Therefore these results concluded that, the ethanolic extract afford significant antioxidant activities which may be attributed due to polyphenols.
