Bromelain - What You Need to Know
From a recent LEF article:
Quote:
What You Need to Know: Bromelain
+ Growing evidence of the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risks associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs has left many people seeking safe, effective strategies for relieving pain and inflammation.
+ Derived from the pineapple plant, the protein-digesting enzyme bromelain demonstrates powerful effects in alleviating pain, swelling, and inflammation.
+ In clinical trials, bromelain-based formulations were more effective than an NSAID drug in relieving arthritis pain. Supplementing with bromelain-based formulations after injury or surgery also speeds healing and reduces pain.
+ Bromelain hastens the resolution of sinusitis, and shows promise in fighting inflammatory bowel disorders. Preliminary studies suggest that bromelain may even help fight cancer.
+ Experts suggest consuming bromelain between meals to capture its anti-inflammatory benefits. To promote healthy digestive function, take bromelain with meals.
