ABSTRACT
Hibiscus sabdariffa It is a member of the Malvaceae family and is often referred to as "red sorrel" or "roselle.These are the kind of plants that are used for a long time in Taiwan as a herbal remedy and soft drink that decreases animal blood cholesterol levels.[10] acetaminophen, a popular over-the- counter antipyretic-analgesic, is frequently used orally with water or other liquids at any time of day. A sweetened water extract of the dried calyx of Hibiscus Sabdariffa is called zobo drink[11].The COVID-19 pandemic and a sedentary lifestyle can exacerbate metabolic syndrome, a complex and multifaceted illness linked to an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Eating foods that are high in polyphenols has been demonstrated in recent research to have a preventive impact, lowering the risk of cardiovascular illness. Because of its potential to treat metabolic syndrome, scientists have recently focused on Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) in conjunction with other plant extracts. The effects of HS in conjunction with additional plant extracts on the prevention of metabolic syndrome are investigated in this systematic review and meta-analysis, along with their potential as therapeutic agents and synergistic effects.[12].Infusion of Hibiscus sabdariffa (H. sabdariffa) is a very popular drink in many parts of the world. Its phytochemical composition is associated to antioxidant, hypotensive, and antiatherosclerotic effects. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in these processes are not well known. The aim of this review was to report the scientific evidence supporting that regular use of H. sabdariffa decreases oxidative stress, atherosclerosis, lipid profile, and blood pressure. Further more no unfavorable incidents or adverse effects were documented.[13]
