Nature's Powerful Anti-Inflammatory Enzyme from Pineapple

Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme (protein-digesting enzyme) extracted from pineapple stems and fruit. While pineapple is brimming with this enzyme along with vitamin C, vitamin B1, potassium, manganese, and phytonutrients, the real secret to its healing powers is definitely bromelain. This fascinating compound has been used widely as a natural remedy to treat everything from indigestion to allergies, inflammation to wound healing, making it one of the most versatile and well-researched natural enzymes available.

What is Bromelain? Therapeutic Pineapple Enzyme

In the medical world, bromelain has traditionally been used as a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling agent. Research has shown that it has fibrinolytic (breaks down fibrin/blood clots), antiedematous (reduces swelling), and antithrombotic (prevents blood clots) properties, meaning it helps prevent blood clots, edema, and swelling throughout the body. In the past, this enzyme was also used as a meat tenderizer - the reason being it helps to soothe and relax tense, inflamed muscles and connective tissue by breaking down proteins.

Extensive Scientific Research - 1,600+ Published Studies

A look at the scientific literature, which includes over 1,600 articles evaluating the medicinal benefits of bromelain, shows that it has been used to treat a wide range of health problems. Additionally, recent studies have found evidence that this enzyme stops lung metastasis in its tracks, which suggests that bromelain can be used to treat a wide variety of diseases, potentially including cancer support (as a complementary therapy, not a cure).

Scientifically-Proven Health Benefits of Bromelain

• Reduces Inflammation & Swelling: Bromelain is one of nature's most powerful anti-inflammatory compounds. It works by inhibiting inflammatory pathways and reducing pro-inflammatory compounds in the body, helping reduce acute and chronic inflammation, decrease swelling and edema, alleviate pain associated with inflammation, and support overall comfort and mobility.
• Relieves Arthritis, Joint Pain & Osteoarthritis: Clinical studies show bromelain significantly reduces joint pain and stiffness in arthritis patients, improves joint mobility and function, reduces inflammation in joints, provides natural pain relief comparable to some NSAIDs, and supports long-term joint health. It's particularly effective for osteoarthritis of the knee.
• Treats Connective Tissue Injuries: Bromelain is widely used by athletes and physical therapists for ACL tears and ligament injuries, sprained ankles, tendonitis and tendon inflammation, muscle strains and tears, and sports-related injuries. It reduces swelling, speeds healing, and helps restore function faster than rest alone.
• Promotes Wound Healing: Bromelain supports faster healing of surgical trauma and slow-healing skin wounds or burns, reduces post-surgical swelling and bruising, helps remove dead tissue (debridement), supports tissue regeneration, and may reduce scarring.
• Eases Digestion & Digestive Issues: As a proteolytic enzyme, bromelain helps break down proteins in food, making digestion easier. It helps with heartburn and acid reflux, reduces bloating and gas, eases diarrhea and digestive upset, supports nutrient absorption, and may help with inflammatory bowel disease symptoms.
• Reduces Muscular or Joint Pain: Beyond arthritis, bromelain helps with general muscle soreness and pain, exercise-induced muscle damage, chronic pain conditions, fibromyalgia symptoms, and post-workout recovery.
• Benefits Heart Health & Cardiovascular Function: Bromelain's fibrinolytic properties support cardiovascular health by helping prevent blood clots and thrombosis, reducing arterial plaque buildup, improving circulation, supporting healthy blood pressure, and reducing cardiovascular inflammation.
• Reduces Allergies & Asthma Symptoms: Bromelain has natural antihistamine effects that help reduce allergic reactions and symptoms, decrease respiratory inflammation, ease asthma symptoms and breathing difficulties, reduce sinus congestion, and support overall respiratory health.
• Treats Sinus Infections - Bronchitis & Sinusitis: Bromelain is particularly effective for respiratory conditions including acute and chronic sinusitis, bronchitis, reducing mucus production and congestion, easing breathing, and supporting faster recovery from respiratory infections.
• May Support Autoimmune Diseases: The anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties of bromelain may help with various autoimmune conditions by reducing inflammation, modulating immune response, and alleviating symptoms.
• Potential Cancer Support: Emerging research suggests bromelain may have anti-cancer properties including stopping lung metastasis, supporting apoptosis (cancer cell death), enhancing immune response against cancer cells, and potentially supporting conventional cancer treatments. This is supportive, not curative, and should only be used under oncologist supervision.
• Improves Drug Absorption: Bromelain enhances absorption of certain medications, particularly antibiotics, allowing lower doses to be more effective, and may reduce symptoms from taking medications by improving their bioavailability.
