†

The product is found useful for the following medical conditions

We explored a new way to deliver bromelain, a natural enzyme, using nanostructured lipid carriers (Br-NCs).

Our research aimed to improve bromelain's stability and effectiveness in managing rheumatoid arthritis.

The study showed that Br-NCs significantly reduced joint swelling and stiffness in preclinical trials.

These carriers also enhanced bromelain's shelf-life and showed promise as a novel treatment option for arthritis.

Finally relief! My doctor recommended Bromelain for joint pain. After trying various brands, Doctor's Best Bromelain is the best. Due to stomach issues, anti-inflammatory drugs are not suitable for me. This brand offers 3000 GDU, far stronger than others. I am now a loyal customer and recommend this to others with arthritis.

Brain Tumor details

Inhibits glioma cell growth

Most Useful Review

I have been taking Bromelain for over 20 years as it is reported to inhibit the growth of glioma cells, a type of malignant brain tumour, in vitro. It acts as a proteolytic enzyme and COX-2 inhibitor.

Bruise details

SCIENTIFIC SCORE

Moderately Effective

Based on 2 Researches

Effective for bruise management

Masson M. [Bromelain in blunt injuries of the locomotor system. A study of observed applications in general practice]. Fortschr Med. 1995;113:303.

In our open observation study involving patients with blunt injuries, we examined the effects of high-dose bromelain on bruising. A total of 59 patients were treated over one to three weeks alongside regular therapies. We evaluated their swelling, tenderness, and pain both at rest and during movement.

Our results showed that bromelain significantly reduced swelling and pain throughout the treatment period, with patients reporting high tolerability and compliance. This suggests that bromelain can be an effective addition in managing bruises and associated symptoms.

Bromelain significantly reduces bruising healing time. Research showed it effectively reduces bruises in athletes compared to a placebo. It has also proven beneficial post-surgery. Despite some limitations in studies, I find it helpful for bruising.

Rheumatoid Arthritis details

Best supplement for joint pain. I take Bromelain, Serrapeptase, and Nattokinase three times daily, away from food. They have become essential in my battle with Rheumatoid arthritis. The quality, size, and dosage of these products are excellent. After a couple of weeks, my pain disappeared. I wholeheartedly recommend them; you'll soon notice the benefits and regain a normal life.

Weight Loss details

My goal is weight loss, and the bromelain in pineapple aids my quest for digestive comfort. I'm very satisfied and will continue using it.

The finest Bromelain formulation I have encountered. After consistently taking 1-2 capsules before each meal for a couple of months, my acne has cleared up significantly.

Autoimmune Disorder details

Effective inflammation relief

Most Useful Review

156 people found this helpful

Very cool! I took bromelain as an anti-inflammatory nutraceutical for joint inflammation. I have had rheumatoid arthritis since age 19 and rely on nutraceuticals instead of medication. My protocol includes NAC, celadrin, bromelain, omega-3, boron, quercetin, and resveratrol. Typically, inflammation subsides within two months, leading to a lengthy remission. This autoimmune protocol aids me, but any deviation or cold can exacerbate the condition. After a severe flu this year, my symptoms worsened, yet this protocol really helped. I recommend it to anyone. Wishing you and your loved ones good health!

Celiac details

Allergen-free enzymes

Most Useful Review

Fantastic high potency product for spike protein degradation. I have been ordering this brand of bromelain as part of the Peter McCullough protocol, which has been life-saving for those jabbed and injured. The capsules are medium-sized, making them easy to swallow, and the dosage is great. I take one in the morning and one in the evening on an empty stomach with serrapeptase/nattokinase, turmeric, and NAC. There is no taste, and the ingredients are clean. As a celiac with a dairy allergy, taking this enzyme without risk of allergens is perfect since many other brands contain unwanted ingredients.

Lung Cancer details

Fights cancer effectively

Most Useful Review

This is a great cancer-fighting element that also aids in digestion. I hope it helps my mother with arthritis as well.

Whooping Cough details

I purchased this product to help with my cough and congestion. It really helps to break up congestion and clear it out. I’m very pleased with the results.

Blood Clot details

116 people found this helpful

Green tea has high quercetin content, making bromelain without quercetin a better option. Since nattokinase, serrapeptase, and bromelain are usually well-tolerated, I recommend a potent dose of all three for the first two to four months. Nattokinase is particularly noted for fighting blood clots. Despite one negative study on serrapeptase, many individuals find it extremely helpful. For overall circulation improvement, I encourage taking krill oil alongside these supplements.

Headache details

After 38 years of severe migraine headaches and relying on Demerol, I tried this on a friend's recommendation and have been headache-free for over seven years now.

Hemorrhoids details

2 people found this helpful

It wasn't suitable for me as I have irritable bowel syndrome, which often leads to stomach upset. I typically take glutathione and Chinese medicine as needed. While eating pineapple relieved my floaters, I bought this to prevent them due to its good reviews for treating hemorrhoids. However, the swelling and bleeding have disappeared, and notably, my gas has lost its foul odour after taking it initially. Unfortunately, I started experiencing stomach pains, prompting me to cease usage. It's rather disappointing.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome details

Smoother stools observed

Most Useful Review

My bowel movements are good. I've been using this for about ten days as a remedy for rashes. I take one capsule at night with nattokinase, and compared to the time when I only had green juice before meals, my stools are smoother, neither too hard nor too soft, and it's easier to pass. There might be a synergistic effect with other supplements like nattokinase, but I plan to continue for a while.

Acanthosis Nigricans details

Helps manage fibromyalgia

Most Useful Review

This Bromelain is simply amazing and very affordable! It has significantly helped keep my fibromyalgia symptoms at bay. I take it alongside quality vitamin C from organic whole fruits and nattokinase on an empty stomach, which has notably improved my circulation and reduced systemic inflammation.

Cancer details

8 people found this helpful

I take the Shirochan Cancer Protocol as part of my systemic proteolytic enzymes, along with pancreatin, nattokinase, and serrapeptase, on an empty stomach. Enzyme therapy is crucial for cancer healing as it breaks down fibrin, which covers cancer cells, allowing our immune system to target them. It also mitigates chemotherapy side effects and is safe as it contains just enzymes. Your support in my natural cancer healing journey is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Joint inflammation relief

An excellent anti-inflammatory, Bromelain is perfect for two main uses: for post-meal digestion relief and as part of my joint inflammation treatment protocol. I have also noticed a slimming effect with prolonged use.

Indigestion details

Great for digestion. For me, this certainly helps with bloating and indigestion. I take one after an unhealthy meal, and I certainly digest better. I haven't noticed any other benefits.

Bloating details

19 people found this helpful

Great product! Bromelain, derived from the pineapple stem and fruit, is highly effective at 3000 gdu per capsule. It aids in the digestion of meats and proteins, significantly reducing bloating. The tingling sensation from bromelain is noticeable when consuming pineapple. For optimal results, take it during meals if you need assistance digesting animal proteins. Furthermore, its protein-digesting properties may benefit inflammatory conditions and cardiovascular or joint health; thus, taking a few capsules on an empty stomach is advised. If my review has been helpful, please give it a thumbs up.

Cardiovascular Disease details

Helps swelling reduction

Most Useful Review

This supplement boasts a clean composition without additives. I find bromelain particularly beneficial for cardiovascular health when taken on an empty stomach. It also works effectively against swelling, making it a great addition to my daily regimen. Its natural formulation is appealing and has proven beneficial for overall well-being.

Chronic Cough details

Fantastic! This product is not only excellent for heart and joints but also alleviated my husband's chronic cough when we ran out of cough mixture. He took one capsule and, amazingly, the cough vanished. He was so pleased he asked me to order four bottles. I also gave this to my brother with asthma, who took two capsules three times a day on an empty stomach. He's feeling much better now and is very happy.

Bromelain is my saviour; it keeps my throat clear and my stomach settled, allowing me to enjoy meals without choking or experiencing stomach issues. I take at least two pills daily and an extra one when dining out (which is uncommon). Thank you for your prompt shipping and for always being available if there's an issue.

Bromelain aids in allergy diagnosis

Abram DM, Fernandes LGR, Perez-Riverol A, Regina Brochetto-Braga M, Zollner RL. Cross-Reactive Carbohydrate Determinant in , and Venoms: Identification of Allergic Sensitization and Cross-Reactivity. Toxins (Basel). 2020;12. doi:10.3390/toxins12100649

We examined how bromelain, a pineapple extract, helps in identifying allergies to Hymenoptera venom. By analyzing serum from 51 patients, we found that many presented cross-reactive IgE due to a carbohydrate called CCD.

Bromelain played a key role in revealing these cross-reactions, as seen in cases where it significantly reduced reactivity to venom allergens. However, it didn't change the reactivity to specific allergenic peptide epitopes.

Our findings suggest that bromelain could be a valuable tool in better diagnosing and differentiating true allergies from cross-reactive responses.

Initially bought for digestion, yet the effects on allergies and congestion surprised me. I took Bromelain during my last pregnancy to handle severe allergies. After taking it, my nasal congestion improved remarkably. It appears to work well for allergies and sinus congestion.
