The dried root of AR is used in Ayurveda as an antiulcerous and antiinflammatory and has medicinal/pharmacological value. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To investigate the antioxidant activities of &lt;em&gt;Asparagus racemosus&lt;/em&gt; root extracts via total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of ethanolic and aqueous extracts. Methods: Antioxidant capacity measurements were carried out by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP methods. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method and the aluminum chloride colorimetric method, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The ethanolic extract possessed higher antioxidant capacities than the aqueous extract in the three antioxidant assays (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05).These results have shown high phenolic and flavonoid contents. The ethanolic extract of AR root possessed higher amounts of phenolic and flavonoid contents than the aqueous extract.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The antioxidant capacity of the ethanolic extract was higher than that in the aqueous extract.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1129</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ladachart Taepongsorat&lt;sup&gt;1,*&lt;/sup&gt;, Surapong Rattana&lt;sup&gt;2, 3 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
