Project Overview

The results of this study demonstrate that a tea made from a standardized optimized Hibiscus calyces tea can reduce blood pressure and lipid profile in people with mild to moderate hypertension. Hibiscus flowers might have several components and properties that contribute to its blood pressure-lowering effect. The antioxidants in hibiscus could add to its cardiovascular benefits by protecting blood vessels and heart muscle from oxidative damage Furthermore, its safety and low potential for causing negative side effects make hibiscus an attractive alternative to antihypertensive medications.
