Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Drinking adlay tea for eight weeks does not change blood pressure, cholesterol levels, or blood sugar in healthy adults.

See the scientific wording

Adlay tea consumption for 8 weeks does not demonstrate effects on clinical endpoints such as blood pressure, lipid profiles, or glucose metabolism in healthy adults, indicating that observed biomarker changes may not translate to immediate metabolic benefits.

Why this might work

Compounds in adlay tea block an enzyme in white blood cells that produces harmful chemicals, which protects blood vessels from damage, but this does not change blood pressure, cholesterol, or sugar levels in healthy people.

    Drinking adlay tea for two months didn’t lower blood pressure, cholesterol, or sugar levels in healthy people, but it did reduce inflammation. So, the tea might help your immune system without fixing your metabolism right away.
