A

Bromelain

Supplements

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
B

Colostrum (Bovine)

Supplements

Mechanism

First milk containing immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM), lactoferrin, growth factors (IGF-1, TGF-beta), and proline-rich polypeptides. Seals gut barrier, modulates immune function, enhances mucosal immunity, and supports muscle recovery via growth factors.

Contraindications

  • Dairy allergy
  • Milk protein sensitivity
