Traditional use of Plantago species as herbal remedies is based on their anti-toxic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anthelmintic, diuretic properties. Plantain species are widely used as alternative therapeutic tools for the prevention or treatment of many diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the enzymatic activity (superoxide dismutase and peroxidase) and non-enzymatic antioxidants (total polyphenols and flavonoids) of three Plantago species (P. lanceolata L., P. media L. and P. schwarzenbergiana Schur) collected in different phenophases from Valea Ilenei (Iasi, Romania) nature reserve.
