Organic Bromelain Extract Powder

Ananas comosus | 100% Pure Bromelain Extract Powder

Bromelain is a powerful proteolytic enzyme complex extracted from the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus). Revered in both traditional healing and modern clinical practice, bromelain breaks down proteins, reduces inflammation, and supports a wide range of physiological functions — from digestion and sinus health to injury recovery and cardiovascular protection.

🌿 Key Benefits & Clinical Evidence

1. Digestive Aid

• Breaks down dietary proteins to support efficient digestion and nutrient absorption.
• Particularly beneficial for those with low stomach acid or pancreatic insufficiency.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: A study published in Biotechnology Research International (2012) confirmed bromelain's efficacy as a digestive enzyme supplement, demonstrating significant improvement in protein digestion and gastrointestinal comfort.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: Research in the Journal of Medicinal Food (2010) found bromelain reduced bloating and digestive discomfort in participants with functional dyspepsia.

2. Anti-Inflammatory & Pain Relief

• Inhibits pro-inflammatory prostaglandins and modulates the inflammatory cascade — comparable in some studies to NSAIDs without gastrointestinal side effects.
• Used clinically for arthritis, joint pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical swelling.
• Frequently paired with turmeric (curcumin) or boswellia for synergistic anti-inflammatory effect.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: A meta-analysis in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2016) found bromelain significantly reduced pain and swelling in osteoarthritis patients.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: A double-blind RCT in Phytomedicine (2004) demonstrated bromelain was as effective as diclofenac (a common NSAID) in reducing knee pain in osteoarthritis patients over 6 weeks.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: Research in Clinical Rheumatology (2006) showed bromelain reduced post-operative swelling and pain following knee surgery.

3. Sinus & Respiratory Health

• Thins mucus secretions and reduces sinus congestion, bronchitis, and upper respiratory inflammation.
• Commonly included in natural allergy and cold formulas alongside quercetin and vitamin C.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: A clinical trial in In Vivo (2005) demonstrated bromelain's effectiveness in reducing sinusitis symptoms, with 83% of patients reporting improvement.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: A study in QJM: An International Journal of Medicine (2016) found bromelain supplementation significantly reduced nasal inflammation and improved breathing in chronic sinusitis patients.

4. Wound & Injury Recovery

• Accelerates healing of bruises, sprains, strains, and post-surgical recovery by reducing localised inflammation and oedema.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: A study in Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology (1964) — one of the earliest RCTs on bromelain — found it significantly reduced post-operative swelling and pain following dental surgery, a finding replicated in multiple subsequent trials.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: Research in Planta Medica (2012) confirmed bromelain's role in accelerating tissue repair and reducing inflammatory markers post-injury.

5. Cardiovascular & Circulatory Support

• Exhibits fibrinolytic activity — may reduce blood clot formation and improve circulation.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: Research published in Experimental and Molecular Pathology (2012) demonstrated bromelain's ability to inhibit platelet aggregation and reduce thrombosis risk in animal models.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: A review in Biomedical Reports (2016) highlighted bromelain's fibrinolytic and anti-thrombotic properties, suggesting potential benefit for cardiovascular health under clinical supervision.

6. Immune System Modulation

• Bromelain has been shown to modulate immune cell activity, enhancing the body's defence response while reducing excessive inflammation.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: A study in Cellular Immunology (2008) found bromelain significantly enhanced T-cell activation and immune response, suggesting immunomodulatory potential.
• 🔬 Clinical Evidence: Research in Planta Medica (2013) demonstrated bromelain's ability to reduce cytokine-driven inflammation, relevant to autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions.
