Effective for bruise management
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.

Nutritional supplements enhance recovery outcomes
We explored how nutritional supplementation during recovery from abdominoplasty affected outcomes like bruising and pain. In our study with 300 female patients, we compared traditional arnica and bromelain use to a new regimen including various nutrients.

The results indicated that those on the updated nutraceutical regimen experienced reduced pain and recovery time, along with a notable decrease in narcotic use. There was also a trend towards faster recovery from bruising, highlighting the potential benefits of including supplements in recovery plans for surgical patients.

Bromelain is a digestive enzyme extracted from pineapple. It enhances digestion and the absorption of protein food, and is recommended as a supplementary agent to decrease inflammation, oedema, and accelerate tissue repair in sports injuries, bruises, and sprains. A highly effective product, I certainly recommend it!
