Nov. 10, 2008 (New Orleans) --

In a new study, drinking three cups of herbal tea containing hibiscus each day lowered blood pressure.

"Most of the commercial herbal tea blends in the United States contain hibiscus," says Diane L. McKay, PhD, of Tufts University in Boston. She tells WebMD that people with the highest blood pressure at the start of the six-week study benefited the most.

McKay presented the study of 65 healthy men and women with modestly elevated blood pressure at the American Heart Association (AHA) meeting here.

Overall, drinking hibiscus tea blends lowered systolic blood pressure -- the top number in the blood pressure reading -- by an average of 7 points. That was significantly more than the 1-point drop observed in people who were given a placebo in the form of hibiscus-flavored water, McKay says.

While a 7-point drop in blood pressure might not seem like much, she says studies have shown that "even small changes in blood pressure ... when maintained over time ... will reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack."

The degree of blood pressure lowering associated with tea drinking in the study was as much as would be expected with standard blood pressure drugs he says. 

EACH CAPSULE OF

Advanced Blood Pressure Support

CONTAINS 100 mg of Hibiscus.

Hawthorne (Crataegus oxyacantha) berry extract has long been used as a cardiovascular tonic. Hawthorne has been shown to safely lower blood pressure by increasing blood supply to the heart and improving circulation in the extremities by lowering arterial wall resistance.

Garlic (Allium sativum) has long been used to promote healthy blood pressure, circulation and improve cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Potassium has been shown to significantly lower blood pressure in individuals with hypertension. It even can lower blood pressure in persons who do not respond to blood pressure lowering medications

Magnesium. Research has shown that when magnesium levels are low, blood pressure is elevated. Studies suggest that magnesium not only lowers blood pressure, but also lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Forslean extract may help reduce body fat percentage. Coleus Forskohlii Extract is a standardized extract from the roots of the Coleus forskohlii plant, a member of the mint family, native to India, but also found in Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Nepal. Practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine traditionally used the herb for promoting lung and cardiovascular health.

 Forskolin, the active ingredient in the herb, has been reported to have beneficial effects for thyroid function. It stimulates the release of the thyroid hormone. Low levels of thyroid may cause symptoms including fatigue, poor mood, weight gain and dry skin. It also helps maintain healthy levels of a cell-regulating substance called cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate). Normally, cAMP is formed when a stimulatory hormone binds to a receptor site on the cell membrane, triggering activation of adenylate cyclase. Forskolin appears to bypass hormone-receptor interactions and activates adenylate cyclase, inducing a rise in cAMP levels. A study published in the Journal of Obesity Research reported that forskolin promotes favorable changes in body composition by increasing lean body mass and decreasing body fat percentages. NSI NSI ForsLean® Coleus Forskohlii Extract is better because it:is all-natural, with published clinical studies supporting benefits!
