A team of researchers at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in Isfahan, Iran have found that roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) contains powerful antihypertensive effects. They assessed the effects of roselle calyces on the serum levels of lipids and insulin, inflammation, and oxidative stress in patients with metabolic syndrome.
The findings of the study suggested that a daily intake of 500 mg of roselle calyx powder can lower systolic blood pressure and reduce serum triglyceride levels in people with metabolic syndrome.
