Derived from the beautiful tropical flower, Hibiscus Extract is said to provide serious positive effects on cardiac health. This ingredient is purported to reduce “bad” cholesterol as well as prevent and even reverse the hardening of arteries. When taken as a supplement, Hibiscus Extract has been used as a treatment to increase appetite, as a laxative, and for minor colds.

This ingredient is used externally to treat various skin conditions, such as eczema. Hibiscus Extract is also used to make hair softer and silkier, and, because of its antiseptic properties, can be used for minor scrapes and burns.
