All test samples were found to reduced the gastric acid to significant extend (P<0.001) as Rantidine compared to control Group. The extract posses that the methanolic extract of Clitoria ternatea can suppress gastric damage induced by various aggressive factors , similarly posses the laxative activity on experimental animal models.
