Bromelain is a type of enzyme called a proteolytic enzyme. It is found in pineapple juice and in the pineapple stem
Benefits of bromelain include reducing inflammation and swelling, promoting wound healing, easing digestion, reducing muscular or joint pain, benefiting heart health, and reducing allergies or asthma.
Used widely as a natural remedy to treat everything from indigestion to allergies, pineapple is not only brimming with this enzyme, but also vitamin C, vitamin B1, potassium, manganese and phytonutrients.
A look at the scientific literature, which includes 1,600-plus articles evaluating the medicinal benefits of bromelain, shows that it has been used to treat a wide range of health problems, including:
- Connective tissue injuries, such as ACL tears
- Sprained ankles
- Tendonitis
- Helps prevent and treat Sinus Infections (Rhinosinusitis)
- Addresses the root cause of allergies rather than just treating the symptoms
- Arthritis, joint pain and osteoarthritis
- Digestive issues like heartburn or diarrhea
- Cardiovascular disorders
- Asthma
- Autoimmune diseases
- Cancer
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Sinus infections, such as bronchitis and sinusitis
- Surgical trauma and slow healing of skin wounds or burns
- Poor absorption of drugs, especially antibiotics, and symptoms due to taking medications
- May stop lung metastasis
This enzyme is very well-tolerated but shouldn’t be taken by people taking blood-thinning medications, who have bleeding disorders or who are allergic to pineapple.
The same applies to surgery: Avoid taking it immediately following surgery unless you speak with your doctor first, as this can increase risk for bleeding
