Cola Lepidota contains beta-carotene, an antioxidant by the name “carotenoids”, which gives the fruit its yellow colour.

Beta-carotene helps to boost hair and skin appearance by repairing the damaged cells as well as protecting them against UV radiation.

The steroids it contains make it beneficial for the muscles and bones. It helps to increase muscle strength and bone mineral, thereby facilitating strong bone building. 

It boosts the haemoglobin (protein) levels of the red blood cell. More so, it enhances the activities of the white blood cells in fighting foreign bodies against infection and diseases.

The quantity of steroid in this fruit is minute, thereby eliminating the risks of high blood pressure as opposed to manufactured steroids.

The presence of beta-carotene makes it beneficial for the eyes as well because it is also a provitamin A.

That means the body can easily convert it to vitamin A, thereby helping to reduce wrinkles and prevent eye diseases.
