being a major contributor to liver damage. The present review has focused attention on the antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties of standardised herbal extracts, which can represent a natural and sustainable solution for liver health. Standardisation makes it possible to ensure consistency in the concentration of bioactive compounds, enhancing the reliability and efficacy of these herbal remedies. Key extracts, such as silymarin from Silybum marianum, curcumin from Curcuma longa, and lignans from Phyllanthus amarus, exhibit strong antioxidant properties by scavenging free radicals, preventing lipid peroxidation and regulating inflammatory pathways. Their clinical and preclinical evidence has proved them to be effective in treating liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, and viral hepatitis. Despite their promises, some hurdles still face them, including variability in raw materials, low bioavailability, and regulatory gaps. This review calls for further optimization of bioavailability as well as the synergistic effects of phytochemicals along with the availability of global regulatory standards to establish standardized herbal extracts as effective integrative therapeutic options for liver health.</p>
