A rich source of nutrition

Lekima is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, potassium and other essential minerals. Vitamin C helps strengthen the immune system, is an antioxidant, and beautifies the skin. Vitamin A is good for eyesight and helps brighten the eyes. Fiber aids digestion and prevents constipation. Potassium helps regulate blood pressure and protects the heart.

Improve cardiovascular health

Lemongrass is a great natural “medicine” for the heart. The abundant potassium in it helps control blood pressure, dilates blood vessels and maintains a regular heartbeat.

Along with that, antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E protect blood vessel walls, prevent atherosclerosis and improve cardiovascular health.

The combination of these two factors makes lekima an ideal food for those who want to protect heart health and prevent related diseases.

Support digestion

Lekima is not only a delicious fruit but also a rich source of fiber, which plays an important role in maintaining a healthy digestive system.

Fiber in lemongrass helps clean the intestines, increase intestinal motility and effectively prevent constipation. In addition, fiber is food for beneficial intestinal bacteria, helping to balance the intestinal microflora, thereby improving the overall health of the digestive system.

Enhance eyesight

Vitamin A in lekima plays an important role in maintaining vision, helping to brighten eyes, preventing eye diseases such as night blindness and macular degeneration. Not only rich in vitamin A, lekima is also a rich source of beta-carotene.

Beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A and is also a powerful antioxidant. Beta-carotene acts as a "shield" to protect the eyes from the harmful effects of free radicals - the leading cause of eye diseases such as macular degeneration, cataracts, and age-related vision loss.

Prevent anemia

Compared to many other fruits, lekima stands out with its rich iron content. Iron in lekima helps the body produce hemoglobin effectively, thereby enhancing oxygen transport to cells.

This is especially important for pregnant women, growing children and people who are physically active.
