Specially-Coated Bromelain
500 mg, 60 enteric coated tablets
Item# 01203
|
Bromelain, a mixture of proteases extracted from
the stem of the pineapple, has been used by Europeans for many years to
inhibit inflammatory factors. Bromelain's fluid-regulating properties
may result from its ability to effectively suppress inflammatory
cytokine production, inhibit neutrophil migration, and support removal
of some cell surface inflammatory molecules. Research also shows that
bromelain may help support healthy blood viscosity and blood platelet
aggregation.
Bromelain has to be enteric coated so that it will
not be activated in the stomach and used as a digestive enzyme.
Enteric-coated bromelain tablets pass into the small intestine where
they are absorbed into the bloodstream to provide systemic benefits.
Specially coated bromelain may significantly
modulate inflammatory reactions in the joints. Research has demonstrated
that enteric-coated bromelain formulations are at least as effective as
other approaches in supporting joint comfort, function and health and
are well tolerated. One study even found that bromelain is more
effective than other methods for maintaining joint function at rest (41%
for bromelain versus 23% for other methods).
Another study showed that specially coated
bromelain yielded an overall improvement in general well-being, along
with improvement in comfort and physical function.
Bromelain has tremendous healing powers. Bromelain also reduce injury healing time.
