Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated whether Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn is effective and safe for treating obesity, including factors like body weight, BMI, and waist measurements, by analyzing data from six randomized controlled trials involving 339 participants.
  • The findings showed very small reductions in weight, BMI, and waist circumference with Hibiscus sabdariffa compared to placebo, and these differences were not statistically significant, indicating no clear clinical benefit.
  • No safety concerns were reported in the studies reviewed, suggesting that Hibiscus sabdariffa is likely safe to use, but current evidence does not support its effectiveness for obesity treatment.
