Proteolytic enzyme (protein digestion) from pineapple. Supports a normal, healthy inflammatory response. Some studies have shown bromelain helps support a healthy inflammatory response in damaged tissue. Bromelain has been shown to help break down potential allergens (proteins) before they are absorbed in the intestinal tract and into the bloodstream, potentially causing an allergic reaction. Bromelain has been shown to help support normal platelet aggregation (blood clotting). This can help provide support for the cardiovascular system. Quality and Potency Guaranteed. Bromelain is obtained from the lower stems of the pineapple plant. It contains a combination of proteolytic enzymes that have been shown to support a healthy inflammatory response. It is believed to work by supporting a healthy balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. Bromelain is also effective at breaking down large proteins (proteolytic activity) that when absorbed intact and travel through the bloodstream may cause an allergic response by the body. Some clinical evidence also demonstrates bromelains ability to help support a normal rather than excess production of mucus along the respiratory tract.
