Bromelain 500 mg
Natural Factors
Overview
Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple stems, known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Research suggests it can be effective in reducing pain and swelling, particularly in post-surgical settings. While traditionally used as a digestive aid, the evidence for this application is less consistent. The product provides 500mg of bromelain per capsule, which aligns with effective dosages when taken 1-3 times daily.
