When using Hibiscus Sabdariffa as a tea, a dried calyx (the part of the blooming top of a flower that is not the petals, but beneath them) weighing about a gram is steeped into tea; drunk either once in the morning or twice a day with 8 hours between doses.
Supplemental Hibiscus Sabdariffa is taken according to the content of anthocyanins; 10mg of anthocyanins derived from Hibiscus Sabradiffa (which would be 1g of a 1% extract or 500mg of a 2% extract) appears to be effective.
Higher doses are associated with toxicity in rats, and it would be prudent to not exceed the above doses unnecessarily. *
