Cost effectiveness, efficacy, and availability have made many people especially in Sub-sahara Africa turned to herbal medicine. Natural products including plant extracts have been explored for their potential health effects. The study employed several techniques to determine the in vitro antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities of ethanol and aquous extract of Clerodendrum volubile. Several models were used because the total antioxidant capacity of an antioxidant cannot be measured by using just single method. Among others, the results of this study justify the traditional uses of the Clerodendrum volubile leaves for therapeutic purposes. It has revealed its efficacy as a radical scavenger and its ability to enhance the reduction in the concentration of molecular oxygen which enhances a smooth transfer of electron in the electron transport system.
