Results: Several studies have shown that I. cylindrica has phenolic compounds, flavonoids and tannin which have antioxidant effects. Flavonoids as antioxidative properties prevent cell damage caused by free radicals reactive. By donating their hydrogen atoms or the ability to adhere metals, in the form of glucosides or a form called aglycones so that they can reduce blood glucose levels. I. cylindrica was processed as extracts or decoction.
