This 2022 meta-analysis and systematic review included data from 13 randomized control trials (1205 participants) relating to the efficacy of Hibiscus sabdariffa in patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension or metabolic syndrome. Authors concluded that Hibiscus sabdariffa is effective in reducing the SBP and DBP in patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension but was not more effective in those with MetS nor superior to antihypertensive drugs.
