Bromelain (Ananas comosus) - 50g

Bromelain is a natural enzyme extract derived primarily from the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus). Like papain, bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme (breaks down proteins), and it’s widely used in both modern herbal medicine and traditional healing practices.

1. Digestive Aid

• Traditionally used for indigestion, bloating, and protein malabsorption.

• Taken before or after meals to improve digestion—especially helpful for people with low stomach acid or pancreatic insufficiency.

2. Anti-inflammatory Support

• Used for arthritis, joint pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical swelling.

• Herbal practitioners often pair bromelain with turmeric (curcumin) or boswellia for synergistic anti-inflammatory effects.

3. Sinus and Respiratory Health

• Helps thin mucus and ease sinus congestion and bronchitis.

• Sometimes included in natural allergy or cold formulas alongside quercetin and vitamin C.

4. Wound and Injury Recovery

• Speeds up healing of bruises, sprains, strains, and surgical recovery by reducing inflammation and swelling.

• Used topically (less common) or orally in supplement form.

5. Cardiovascular and Circulatory Support

• May reduce blood clot formation and improve circulation due to fibrinolytic action.

• Sometimes suggested for people at risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or atherosclerosis (under supervision).
