Bromelain Facts

Bromelain is a natural proteolytic enzyme extracted from the stem and fruit of the pineapple (Ananas comosus). It helps break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, supporting digestion and nutrient utilization. Bromelain has also been studied for its role in maintaining tissue comfort and supporting the bodyā€™s natural recovery processes.

Key Benefits of Bromelain:

  • Enhances nutrient utilization by improving protein absorption and availability.
  • Supports protein digestion, nutrient utilization, and helps maintain normal tissue comfort.

Why it Matters:

Up to 70 million people in the U.S. experience digestive issues each year Ā¹. Supporting protein digestion may ease the burden on the digestive system.
Most U.S. adults consume well above the RDA for protein Ā². Enzymes like bromelain can help maximize the nutritional benefit of this intake Ā³.
Musculoskeletal complaints are among the most common reasons for physician visits, highlighting the value of ingredients that support normal tissue recovery pathways ā“.
Bromelain activity varies with fruit ripeness and source; standardized extracts provide consistent enzyme activity. Additionally, supplements provide higher and more reliable enzyme activity than fruit alone.
