Hibiscus extract has been associated with a number of health benefits, including:

• Blood pressure

  Some research suggests that hibiscus may help lower blood pressure, and hibiscus sabdariffa may be particularly beneficial for this.

• Cholesterol

  One study found that hibiscus extract improved cholesterol levels in people with metabolic syndrome, which includes high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

• Metabolic syndrome

  Hibiscus extract may help improve symptoms of metabolic syndrome, a group of conditions that can increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

• Liver health

  Hibiscus may have liver-protective effects, and some researchers have studied it in relation to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

• Weight loss

  Some studies suggest that hibiscus extract may help with weight loss and prevent obesity, but more research is needed.

• Skin health

  Hibiscus contains vitamin C and antioxidants, which may help prevent signs of aging by maintaining skin elasticity and collagen production.

• Antibacterial properties

  Hibiscus extract may inhibit E. coli and other bacteria strains, but it shouldn't be used as a replacement for antibiotics.
