Efficacy of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. extract on metabolic parameters in participants with abdominal obesity and mild metabolic syndrome in Bangkok, Thailand: A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial
Taking 1000-mg HS daily for 12 weeks seems to be safe. Placebo and HS groups showed good clinical results, and the extract was not associated with improved metabolic parameters in individuals with abdominal obesity and mild MetS symptoms, with the exception of lower serum LDL.
