Features of bromelain

Bromelain is an enzyme derived from the stem of fresh pineapples
Bromelain is a digestive aid, especially to assist in the digestion of fatty or high-protein meals
Recent research has shown bromelain is helpful for sports people with sprains and strains
Bromelain is believed to inhibit the body's production of prostaglandins associated with inflammation and pain, whilst promoting the formation of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins (prostaglandins are hormone-like substances)
Bromelain can work especially well when taken in conjunction with turmeric, and many practitioners recommend taking both bromelain and turmeric alongside each other
Bromelain appears to aid the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric
To be of use a product must contain at least 2000 gelatin dissolving units (G.D.U.) per gram, which is why it is important to use a high strength product that contains this relevant level
