Description
"Bromelain" is a supplement derived from the stem and juice of pineapples, valued for its proteolytic enzyme content. It aids digestion by breaking down proteins, enhancing nutrient absorption, and promoting digestive efficiency. Bromelain is also used to support an inflammatory response, benefiting conditions like sinusitis, osteoarthritis, and sports injuries. Additionally, it contributes to cardiovascular health by promoting circulation.

When To Take It
Bromelain is versatile and can be taken at any point in the day, with or without meals, depending on the intended use.
Synergy and Antagonism
Bromelain works synergistically with quercetin, papain, serrapeptase, nattokinase, and curcumin extract to enhance anti-inflammatory effects and systemic enzyme therapy. It also improves nutrient bioavailability, particularly for curcumin. However, bromelain may increase the risk of bleeding when combined with anticoagulants, omega-3s, garlic extract, ginkgo biloba extract, or willow bark extract.
