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.

Bromelain reduces allergic airway inflammation
We explored how bromelain, a natural extract from pineapples, influences allergic airway disease in a mouse model. Mice were sensitized and treated with bromelain or saline over several days.

Results showed that bromelain significantly reduced inflammation markers and altered key immune cell populations. Consequently, we see potential in bromelain for the management of allergies, asthma, and similar conditions in humans.

However, further research is needed to confirm these effects in human subjects.
The study looked into how plant-made influenza vaccines interact with the immune system, particularly concerning allergies. We followed 280 participants over six months, monitoring for allergic reactions and measuring specific antibodies.

While some subjects produced temporary IgG and occasionally IgE antibodies, no allergic symptoms were reported. Importantly, the study found these antibody responses were not tied to allergy worsening, indicating that these vaccines may be safe for those with known plant allergies.

Sinus relief achieved

This stuff is brilliant! It really helps with the inflammation in my sinuses and eyes. Allergies are not bothering me, even though pollen levels are at record highs this year. My corneal erosions have significantly decreased in both frequency and severity since I began taking three of these capsules daily.

Less congestion
This product has been beneficial for my seasonal allergies. I take one capsule twice daily. My sneezing and head congestion have improved compared to previous years. I plan to continue using it, hoping it will also help with ragweed in the Autumn. Plus, I seem to have less arthritic pain.

Bromelain aids sinusitis recovery
We examined how bromelain, an enzyme derived from pineapple, affects children under 11 with acute sinusitis. In our study involving 116 patients across Germany, we compared those treated with bromelain alone, standard treatments, and a mix of both.

The results revealed that the bromelain group had the quickest recovery, with symptoms lasting about 6.66 days. Interestingly, only one patient had a mild allergic reaction, which was self-limiting. Overall, bromelain appears to provide a beneficial treatment option for young children suffering from acute sinusitis.
