Mechanism

Proteolytic enzyme complex from pineapple stems. Anti-inflammatory via modulation of prostaglandin synthesis, fibrinolytic, and anti-edematous. Degrades fibrin and reduces blood viscosity. Enhances absorption of other supplements (particularly quercetin and curcumin).

Contraindications

  • Pineapple allergy
  • Pre-surgery (bleeding risk)
  • Active bleeding

Mechanism

Fatty acid ester with anti-inflammatory and joint-lubricating properties. Modulates immune response by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase and modulating prostaglandin synthesis. Reduces joint inflammation and improves range of motion in arthritic conditions.

Contraindications
