Contains: Bromelain, Calcium, Magnesium
I do not usually write reviews, but I had to on this product. I was having chronic sinus pain and headaches that wouldn't go away. I took several rounds of antibiotics, a prescription steroid, the usual over the counter sinus products and nothing was working. I heard about Bromelain's potential as a sinus treatment. I decided to try it. It is the only thing that has worked for me
Read More...First of all, let me be clear, I am not a puker. Last month I took one of these for chronic joint pain and forgot all about it. Went to a friend's dinner party and had to leave after a few hours because of stomach pain. This pain evolved into massive nausea, profound vomiting and jet propulsion nastiness exiting from my derriere. This was followed by severe back pain. This episode lasted for about two hours. I blamed it on foraged mushrooms served at the party but lo and behold I was the only one who got sick. Well, I took another one today not making the previous connection. Well, you guessed it, another episode of pure hell in the form of ejecting bodily fluids involuntarily. The upside, the event caused me to lose 3 lbs immediately each time....I'd rather have those lbs than experience that again. I tossed the bottle away and apologized to my neighbor..
Read More...I read online that bromelian helps reduce mucus. I have a lot of mucus generally and have allergies and constant post nasal drip. These help a lot, but be sure to pay attention to the gdu and get one with at least 2,000 gdu. I once bought some at Walmart with 800 gdu and it didn't help at all. These are great and it makes a real difference in my post nasal drip
Read More...I have ovarian cancer, stage III C and lost part of my colon, part of my bladder and part of my intestines. I had problems with constipation after my surgery and nothing worked. I even took prescriptions and they had no effect (no surprise). A friend who also had ovarian cancer suggested Bromelain. WOW!! I had relief within about a day and a half! I have recommended Bromelain to other people and they have all come back telling me thank you it worked. Also, the NOW Foods brand is one I have come to trust
Read More...So I finished these capsules about 3 weeks ago and I can tell you, they were working!! I didn't know at first because I really couldn't tell if they were helping with my sciatica but now that I have been out, my pain is back 100 fold....I am ordering them right now!
Read More...Great! I usually take one a day just to combat inflammation in my body from autoimmune disease. I injured my ankle yesterday and my foot started to swell. I took 2 of these last night with Tylenol, as I am allergic to ibuprofen. Now my foot only has a little puffiness and tenderness at the site of the injury. The swelling in my foot is gone. I still have pain, but not like yesterday with the swelling. However I didn't take this for pain. I took it for inflammation and now I know for sure that it works
Read More...After following a rather simple routine I came across online, my gout episodes have decreased from 2 - 3 bad episodes over a span of 18 months to 0, 20 months and counting. Before I go into the 3 part maintenance program, let me first warn you that this simple and healthy alternative to prescription drugs will not work, or I should say, most likely, won't work, if you don't modify your diet, that is to say, this is not a miracle drug that will allow you to drink as much beer and whiskey as you please or eat tons of rich dark turkey meat and brown gravy, giblets or high salted processed foods like Vienna Sausages or sweet breads, but if you are looking for an easy to follow remedy that will allow you to have a scotch once in a while or perhaps indulge in something rich and savory, without worrying about a painful gout episode, you may consider the following program. 3 Bromelain 2400GDU/500mg daily 1 morning, 1 afternoon and 1 anytime between 5PM - 9PM (with dinner) 2 oz daily of R.W. Knudsen JUST BLACK CHERRY this brand is available at my local grocery store. It does not have to be the same brand, but what it MUST be is 100% juice. Don't be deceived by the front label that may claim 100% fruit juice or 100% Juice, go directly to the Nutrition Label and read the INGREDIENTS section, the product should consist of a single ingredient "juice from ripe whole black cherries" if anything else is listed put the bottle back on the shelf and seek another until you find the singular ingredient under the ingredients section of the Nutrition label. 1 tablespoon of Bragg Organic RAW Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (except no substitute) twice a day morning and dinner time, add to 8oz of water and sip, you may also take the ACV straight from the tablespoon, but sipping it with water adds an additional benefit, it also prevents acid reflux, which folks with gout tend to also suffer from. At the early warning signs of an attack take 3 Bromelain 2400 Gdu/500mg at morning at afternoon at dinner and 2 before bed and increase black cherry juice to 16 - 20 oz daily, ACV remains the same, repeat this program for 3 to 5 days then return to maintenance dosage. Full disclosure: I am not a nutritionist, a doctor or a person involved in the health industry. This program in addition to a gout friendly diet, has worked for me and it may work for you. I have been using NOW Bromelain 2400 Gdu/500mg, because it comes in the correct prescribed dosage I discovered online. The caps are easy to swallow and keep nicely in the fridge (where I keep several spare bottles). Before coming across NOW, I paid a lot more for a lot less in over priced Health Stores, none of which contain the proper single capsule dosage required for the system to be effective. One more thing, gout no gout, it is a good idea to drink at least 8 8 0z glasses of water daily and more if it is on a day you intend to drink alcohol or partake in strenuous exercise which could lead to dehydration
Read More...Have been taking these for almost a year. It cleared up a persistent sinus and ear congestion. I was getting ear aches before and these cleared them up. But, in the long term, it has affected my bowel movements. I have a lot of very smelly farts. I have intestinal gas and loose stools and sometimes a leakage problem. I have had to cut down to using only when necessary and when I know I won;t be leaving the house
Read More...I have joint inflammation with accompanying pain. I'm very stiff in the morning when I get up. I immediately take one of these on an empty stomach before getting ready in the morning and then eating breakfast. It helps to alleviate a lot of the pain and stiffness for me if I let it get into my system before eating anything. Terrific natural product. At least it is for me..
Read More...I write this review to help others suffering from Arthritis pain and swelling. My mom had been suffering from arthritis in her hands for 15 years now and in the last 2 years she has been unable to even hold a plate. Shes broken so many dishes and cups trying to wash them. Shes tried everything her doctor told her to, and nothing ever seems to help. So 6 months ago, I bought her these Bromelain caps to try. I told her to take 3 caps on empty stomach 1.5 hours before eating, and at least 2 hours after eating. It has to be on empty stomach so that it can "eat up" the inflammation. If taken with food, it will lose its "eating" ability because it is being absorbed with the food. So we decided she should take 3 caps, 3 times a day for first 2 weeks. *NOTE*:It takes some time because it has to remove the layers of inflammation, depending on how bad you have it. So after 18 days, the swelling that kept her up at night reduced down to 50%, and her pain went from a 10 to 7. After 35 days, swelling down to 25% and pain from 7 to 5. And after 2 months, her swelling is at 10%, and pain went from a 5 to 3. After 5 months, her swelling ranges from 4-6%, she can still feel a little bit but not much, and her pain scale is now down to 1. For the last month, she has lowered the dosage to only 2-3 caps a day to maintain. So if youre desperate, and nothing esle is working, give this a chance to work for you. And use them on an empty stomach and give it a couple hours before filling your stomach to eat up the inflammation. I am now begging to suffer from arthritis in my right hand and I started taking them yesterday. I took 6 yesterday and went to bed. My swelling went down 25%. It will take time but I know it will eventually go away
