African ‘tea trick’ OUTPERFORMS statins in maintaining PERFECT cholesterol
Once your doc breaks it to you that you’ve got high cholesterol…
He’ll NEVER let you forget it!
It’s almost as though he ENJOYS reminding you of it…
Because he can keep handing statins out to you like candy!
You’re not alone…
Because nearly A THIRD of Americans aged 40+ are taking a statin RIGHT NOW…
And you can almost HEAR Big Pharma laughing all the way to the bank.
But today, I’m here to share with you a drug-free secret to lower cholesterol…
And it can be found in an exotic flower.
A ‘rosy’ outlook
There are many different species of the edible flower known as “hibiscus”…
But the one that’s RENOWNED in the folk medicine practices around the world is Hibiscus sabdariffa, a.k.a. “roselle.”
It’s one of the most popular ingredients in West African countries, especially for ceremonial, celebratory, and healthful beverages like:
- bissap, the national drink of Senegal
- sooboloin Ghana
- zoboin
Descendants of West African ancestors found throughout the world sometimes keep it simple and just call it “red drink.”
And you’ve got plenty of reason to CELEBRATE hibiscus tea… which is an herbal blend made from a mixture of dried hibiscus flowers and leaves…
Because it can SLASH high cholesterol.
One clinical trial out of Taiwan showed how drinking hibiscus tea helped reduce total cholesterol levels by as much as 14.4%…
And that was after just ONE month.
Other research shows the consumption of hibiscus tea to be associated with HIGHER levels of HDL (or “good”) cholesterol… and LOWER levels of LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol…
And that’s exactly the type of cholesterol balance you should be aiming for.
But here’s the real kicker for Big Pharma — the scary truth that’s giving them a RUN for their money.
One clinical trial reported that hibiscus lowered total cholesterol levels BETTER than a statin drug!
Hibiscus flowers are sold in bags in American health food stores, usually labeled “flor de Jamaica.”
When you brew them in hot water, the resulting hibiscus tea has a tart flavor and red hue similar to that of cranberries.
You can drink it hot… or on ice.
You’ll also find hibiscus in supplement form… perhaps labeled as “Luo Shen Hua,” its name in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Beware of hibiscus “juices” (called “jamaica” and pronounced with an “h” sound in Hispanic communities), teas with added sugar, syrups, candies, and even carbonated sodas.
They may taste good… but they’re not good for you!

P.S. Last month, I shared with you how statins can cause unwanted personality changes in those who take these cholesterol-lowering drugs. Here’s how to identify the signs… and how to REVERSE them.
