abstract={<b>Purpose: </b>In Saudi Arabia, about 46% of total of deaths caused by Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Recently, an association between the bioactive components in <i>Hibiscus sabdariffa </i>and atherosclerosis prevention was detected. The present study aimed to examine the influence of anthocyanins from <i>Hibiscus sabdariffa </i>tea extracts on the atherosclerosis biomarkers in adults in Saudi Arabia. <b>Patients and Methods: </b>16 female Participants, with mean age was of about 20-35 years were asked to fast for 12 hours after 3 days washout, then blood sample were collected and blood pressure were measured before and after consumption of <i>Hibiscus sabdariffa </i>tea extract. All, participants consumed. <i>H. sabdariffa</i> tea extract (240 ml tea bag) twice a day for 6 weeks. blood sample and blood pressure were collected at the end of intervention. Biochemical analysis, determination of Antioxidant concentration and determination of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) Levels were carried out. <b>Results: </b>A significant decline in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and OxLDL for the participants while no changes in levels of LDL, TG, cholesterol and the rate of glucose. A significant increase in HDL was, also, observed. The study found that there were no significant differences in participants antioxidants concentration. <b>Conclusion: </b>The study suggests that anthocyanins from <i>H.
