- Vitamin C. Modest contribution (especially when brewed strongly).
- Anthocyanins. The compounds responsible for the red colour. Antioxidant activity.
- Blood pressure. Some evidence links regular hibiscus drinking to a small reduction; this is not a treatment or a substitute for medication or monitoring.
