Hibiscus Extract
Hibiscus sabdariffa
A plant extract commonly consumed as tea (zobo, bissap, roselle) in many African cultures. Hibiscus has a long traditional history for general wellness and cardiovascular support, now validated by modern clinical research.

How It Works
Hibiscus anthocyanins and polyphenols act as natural ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors, reducing vascular resistance and promoting vasodilation. The extract also has diuretic properties that support healthy fluid balance, and its antioxidant compounds protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation — a key step in atherosclerosis development.
