Bromelain / 400 mg / Proteolytic Enzyme

Bromelain as a Proteolytic Enzyme may be a useful dietary supplement for sinusitis, osteoarthritis, cancer, poor digestion, and muscle soreness.

DESCRIPTION

Bromelain supplies 5,000 m.c.u (milk clotting units) per capsule. Milk-clotting units are a unit of measure of enzymatic activity.

FUNCTIONS

Bromelain is obtained from the lower stems of the pineapple plant. It is a combination of enzymes that have shown to support a healthy inflammatory response. It reduces the production of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins by modulating the arachidonate cascade. Its enzymatic activity may reduce the discomfort associated with injuries. Bromelain also acts to help prevent allergens from crossing the gastrointestinal tract and assists in the breakdown of large macromolecular protein complexes. This reduces the chance that these complexes will leave the stomach untouched or in large fractions retaining their recognizable antigenic form that could pass through gastric or intestinal lesions thereby inducing an allergenic response.

SUGGESTED USE
As a dietary supplement, adults take 1 capsule after each meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

SIDE EFFECTS
