ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the effects of drinking hibiscus tea on college students, specifically looking at how it might help with blood pressure, body weight, and vision problems like nearsightedness (myopia) and visual fatigue. The researchers are recruiting college students aged 15 to 22 years old to participate. Participants will be divided into two groups: one will drink hibiscus tea, while the other will drink boiled water for ten weeks. Throughout the study, participants will have their blood pressure, body composition, and vision checked at different points to see if there are any changes.
If you or someone you know is interested in joining, it’s important to note that some people may not qualify, such as those with certain medical conditions like kidney issues, a history of stomach ulcers, or allergies to substances found in hibiscus tea. This study is a great opportunity for college students to explore how a common drink like hibiscus tea could potentially improve health aspects that many young adults face today.
