Today, medicinal plants used in folk medicine are increasingly being researched and pharmaceutical, nutraceutical fields, food. Despite its nutritional properties, Vicia faba is a legume whose value not fully understood. More research needed on multiple biological effects, such as antioxidant activity other aspects. The aim of this study to determine the extracts obtained from bean leaves flowers. For purpose, leaf flower samples, which were dried open air ground into fine powder, extracted by steeping boiling water for ten minutes. total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid (TFC), capacity analyzed using spectrophotometric techniques. In addition, organic acid compound contents determined high performance liquid chromatography technique. It was that phenolic, flowers higher than leaves. main ellagic acid. cytotoxic effects investigated colorimetric test CCK-8 (Cell Counting Kit-8) kit. No effect observed. Faba good source natural antioxidants can be prevent harmful caused free radicals. Therefore, shows tea prepared may choice people with Parkinson's those seeking health-promoting beverages.
