Roselle: The Blossom of Antioxidants

 

Roselle (also known as Hibiscus sabdariffa) is a member of the Hibiscus family. It is a very well-known medicinal plant which can be found in almost all tropical and subtropical countries like Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Sudan, India, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Egypt and Mexico.

 

For centuries Roselle has been used as a food and nutrient source in a lot of dishes, beverages and it has also been a conventional remedy for diseases. It is popular for its edible fleshy calyces and leaves, from which juices, jams, jellies, salads, tea,  ice-cream, and many other products are prepared.

 

Nutrients & Bioactive Compounds in DXN Roselle:

 

Hibiscus sabdariffa is mainly cultivated for its calyx. The three types of Roselle calyx are green, red and dark red. The red calyxes are the richest in nutrients, so they are the most commonly used types of Roselle.

 

DXN Roselle is rich in:

Organic acids including citric, malic, tartaric and allo-hydroxycitric acids

Minerals: Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron

Vitamins: Vitamin C, beta carotene, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine

Phytochemicals & antioxidants including Anthocyanins and flavonoids

 

Benefits of DXN Roselle

 

1) DXN Roselle regulates blood pressure

 

Roselle is rich in antioxidants as it contains bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins and flavonoids which can lower blood pressure in hypertensive adults by reducing the viscosity (thickness) of blood. A study from Tufts showed that three daily cups of roselle drink or tea significantly lowered blood pressure in prehypertensive adults better than placebo, with a drop in the subjects’ systolic blood pressure by six points over the control group. To put that into perspective, on a population scale, a five-point drop may lead to 14 percent fewer stroke deaths, 9 percent fewer fatal heart attacks, and 7 percent fewer deaths overall each year.

 

2) DXN Roselle lowers blood cholesterol

 

As Roselle contains high levels of flavonoids, polyphenols and anthocyanin, it is shown in research to prevent oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) or ‘bad cholesterol’, hence able to suppress blood lipid levels including triglycerides and total cholesterol significantly. According to a study conducted among high blood cholesterol patients, a total of 3g Roselle extract per day, given three times a day, significantly lowered serum cholesterol. This data strongly suggests that Roselle is potentially applicable to prevent atherosclerosis and a number of cardiovascular diseases.

 

3) DXN Roselle regulates blood sugar

 

Studies revealed that polyphenolic components of roselle can improve insulin sensitivity, hence reduce insulin resistance and regulates blood sugar level. Hibiscus acid in roselle has been reported as a potent inhibitor of intestinal α-glucosidase and pancreatic α-amylase activity, therefore can serve as effective mechanism for the control of postprandial hyperglycemia (rise of blood sugar after a meal).

 

4) DXN Roselle helps with weight loss and fatty liver

 

Roselle has been shown to help boost body metabolism and maintain healthy weight. Studies presented that consuming roselle can help to reduce fat percentage, body weight and BMI. Roselle is also found to help inhibit fat accumulation, prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver, hence it has liver-protecting potential.

 

5) DXN Roselle is anti-inflammatory

 

Chronic inflammation is one of the common root causes of most diseases including cancer. Roselle is naturally high in the phytonutrient anthocyanin, a family of bioactive pigments responsible for the red colour of roselle and its potent antioxidant actions. Many studies suggested that anthocyanins may be involved in the improvement of many different types of diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular diseases and many more.

 

6) DXN Roselle improves iron status

 

Iron deficiency is one of the most common form of nutritional deficiencies, particularly in young children and women at child-bearing age. Iron deficiency can lead to stunting and impaired cognitive development in children, as well as adverse maternal health and birth outcomes. Many studies found that consuming Roselle regularly could improve iron status of child bearing women and protect stunting among toddlers. As Roselle is an excellent source of Vitamin C, it’s especially an effective way to enhance iron absorption.
