Bromelain
Bromelain is a group of digestive enzymes found in pineapple, especially in the stem and fruit. It is a mixture of protein-digesting enzymes, called proteases, which can break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.
Bromelain has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce inflammation and swelling in the body.This can make it useful in treating inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, swelling and pain.
By breaking down proteins, it improves digestion and contributes to better absorption of nutrients. It promotes wound healing by helping to remove dead tissue and encouraging the formation of new cells. This contributes to faster healing of injuries and wounds.
Bromelain is useful for digestive problems such as bloating and indigestion. It helps to improve the movement of food in the digestive tract and reduce the symptoms of indigestion.
It has a positive effect on the immune system by stimulating the production of immune cells. Supports the immune response and increases the body's defences against infections.
