Individuals with diabetes may find alligator pepper to be beneficial in maintaining blood sugar control and so avoiding diabetes consequences such as blindness and limb amputation. Researchers in ascertaining the blood sugar lowering effect of alligator pepper had 25 albino rats that were randomly divided into five groups of five rats each. Throughout the experiment, tap water was provided as a carrier solvent to two control groups: non-diabetic (positive) and diabetes (negative). The remaining three groups were given 100 mg/kg metformin (a diabetes medication), 200 mg/kg orally, and aqueous seed extract of alligator pepper, all at the same time.

The researchers observed that oral treatment of an aqueous extract of alligator pepper to diabetic rats reduced blood glucose to normal levels in six days, but metformin (a diabetic medication) took 14 days. The length of blood glucose reduction by the two dosages of extract supplied was not significantly different, indicating that the impact was not dose-dependent.

The alligator pepper extract has antimicrobial properties due to its constituents of phenolic compounds that are normally used as disinfectants. This pepper extract has a broad spectrum of activity, according to studies, and so inhibits the growth of bacteria such as Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumonia, among others.

All of the bacteria species studied were suppressed by the seed extract of alligator pepper, indicating that this plant extract has a broad spectrum of activity (acts against a wide range of disease-causing bacteria). At high doses, the extracts showed increased antibacterial action against E. coli, Klebsiella spp., and salmonella spp. The discovery that alligator pepper can stop bacteria from multiplying in the lab has the implication that alligator pepper when taken as a normal spice, can help the human body fight disease-causing microorganisms.

The antioxidant and antibacterial properties of alligator pepper seed extracts, which are abundant in alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannin, have been repeatedly shown to be helpful in encouraging and enhancing the wound healing process. Because of this, alligator pepper is used in a number of nations [including Nigeria] for mending wounds and treating burns, preventing infections, as well as relaxing inflamed mucous membranes. All you need do is crush the seeds and apply them to the affected area.

Similar to this, researchers at the Biology Department of Yaba College of Technology in Lagos State hypothesized in a study titled "Antimicrobial Activities of Aframomum Melegueta -Alligator Pepper" that the seed extract of alligator pepper inhibits the growth of common pathogens like Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, and even Klebsiella pneumonia.

Cardiovascular disease, which includes conditions like heart attack, renal failure, heart failure, and stroke and is brought on by hypertension as well as high cholesterol levels, has claimed more lives than any other illness in Nigeria and around the world. On the plus side, alligator pepper has antihypertensive properties and a good amount of amino acids, which lower blood pressure and control cholesterol levels to lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Alligator pepper is an ideal treatment for hypertension because it is natural and has few to no adverse effects on the patient. In contrast to many other conventional medications that may carry certain health hazards.

Research shows that about 40% of women have fibroid before reaching menopause, and this is often caused by several factors, including excess consumption of alcohol and caffeine, overweight, genetics, and hormonal changes, to mention but a few. Lower back pain, increased urination, prolonged menstruation, an enlarged belly or uterus, constipation, pain during sex, miscarriages or infertility are a few of the prevalent symptoms of fibroid.

However, one advantage of alligator pepper is that it has certain ingredients that are highly efficient in treating this muscular tumor. As a result, alligator pepper is used as a natural treatment for fibroid, particularly in Nigeria and other African nations. A balanced diet, frequent exercise, a low-sugar diet, fresh fruit, and foods high in beta-cater one, folate, and Vitamins C, E, and K are additional strategies you can use, in addition to regularly consuming alligator pepper, to lessen the appearance of fibroid.
