Sanhua Tea Alleviates Obesity Symptoms by Improving Blood Lipid Levels, Gut Microbiota, and Liver Metabolome in Mice.

Key takeaways

Mice fed a high-fat diet were given Sanhua tea, a blend of rose, jasmine, bitter orange, lotus and a Chinese herb. The tea improved their blood fat levels and changed their gut bacteria and liver chemistry. This was done in mice, not people. It also did not measure anything about the kidneys.
