Bromelain

Bromelain, provided by Douglas Laboratories®, supplies 500 mg per capsule with enzymatic activity of 2,400 GDU/gram. It is a proteolytic enzyme that may support musculoskeletal health, and joint comfort.

Indications

• Musculoskeletal health
• Joint comfort
• Supports healthy microbial balance

Functions and Mechanism of Action

Bromelain is obtained from the lower stems of the pineapple plant which contains cysteine proteases. They are glycoproteins with one carbohydrate chain per protein molecule with an active site represented by the reactive sulphhydryl group of cysteine.

These proteolytic enzymes support healthy cytokine levels and regulatory balance in the body. Research suggests that it may promote muscle and joint comfort by providing support for healthy platelet function at the higher dose of 3000 FIP units, and has non-specifc proteolytic activity factors which may provide support for a healthy microbial balance.
