How does the jamaica flower lower cholesterol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mixed results: Studies of standard hibiscus extract have yielded mixed results. The polyphenolic compunds and flavinoids have been shown to lower her lipids and triglycerides in some small studies however a meta-analysis revealing multiple studies did not show a positive effect, more controlled human studies are needed.
