I bought this mainly to help with gout. I don't like taking medications and found an article about using Bromelain with a lot of water. I was already drinking enough water but needed something extra. The gout symptoms did seem to go away faster and I notice digestion is better. I eat around 70 to 80% vegetarian (no soy) but when I eat meat (most often grass feed beef or free range chicken) I can tell that digestion is better
