BackgroundHypertension is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide.Hibiscus cheap readily available preparation. AimsWe aimed to assess the effect Hibiscus sabdariffa on blood pressure, lipid profile, plasma sugar, h-sensitive C-reactive protein. Methods This prospective cohort study conducted among 19College staff members at University Tabuk, Saudi Arabia during January 2020.The participants signed written informed consent, then responded questionnaire report their demographic data.At baseline, pressure was measured, anthropometric measures collected, and, sample taken measure fasting serum cholesterol, triglycerides, highdensity lipoproteins, high-sensitive protein.Participants thereafter took for four weeks, above measurements were repeated.The compliance also assessed. ResultsNo significant effects consumption observed systolic diastolic glucose, Creactive protein, P-value<0.05. ConclusionNo users protein.Further larger multicenter studies are recommended.
