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

Mechanism

Combination of bromelain, papain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pancreatin. Systemic enzyme therapy that degrades circulating immune complexes, reduces fibrin deposition, modulates cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha), and supports recovery from injury, surgery, and chronic inflammation.

Contraindications

  • Bleeding disorders
  • Pre-surgery
  • Severe liver or kidney disease
