A proteolytic enzyme found in pineapple stems, it cools inflammation and promotes healing in injured muscles and joints. Also relieves the discomfort from asthma, arthritis (gout), colitis and inflammatory bowel disorders.1 It's a suitable alternative to stronger prescription anti-inflammatory agents. Some European cardiologists use Bromelain to reverse the symptoms of coronary heart disease. Keeps blood platelets from sticking to each other, a process known to be involved in plaque formation.
Capsule/Tablet: 600mg daily on an empty stomach.
