Bromelain Capsules – High Strength 3000 GDU/g – 500mg per Capsule
Naturally Derived from Pineapple
Origin and nutrition
Botanical origin: A fruit originating from South America, pineapples get their name from their resemblance to pine cones.
Nutritional content: The fruit is a rich source of nutrients, antioxidants and various beneficial enzymes such as bromelain.
Health benefits
Respiratory and sinus support
Sinusitis and breathing: Bromelain can reduce inflammation in the sinuses and can improve conditions affecting breathing and nasal passages.
Anti-inflammatory and pain management
Broad anti-inflammatory effect: Bromelain has shown promise in reducing inflammation associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteomyelofibrosis.
Digestive health
Protease activity: Bromelain acts as a protease that breaks down protein molecules for better absorption in the small intestine.
Fiber: Pineapple is also rich in fibre, essential for good digestion.
COVID-19 and prolonged COVID
Cleavage of spike protein: In laboratory studies, bromelain has been shown to break down the spike protein in SARS-CoV-2, potentially preventing virus-cell attachment.
Relief of symptoms of prolonged COVID: Bromelain can help reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system, thereby relieving symptoms of prolonged COVID such as fatigue, shortness of breath and cognitive impairment.
Accelerates recovery: Bromelain may also help accelerate recovery from COVID-19 by reducing inflammation and potentially preventing the virus from reproducing.
Research: Although still in its early stages, some studies suggest that bromelain may reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms and improve long-term COVID conditions. More research is needed for confirmation.
Other notable benefits
- Strengthens the immune system: Strengthening the immune system.
- Muscle pain and wound healing: Can reduce muscle pain after exercise and accelerate wound healing.
- Potential anticancer and cardiovascular benefits: More research is needed, but there are indications that bromelain may offer anticancer and cardiovascular benefits.
Dosage and guidelines
Recommended dosage: In general, 500 to 1000 milligrams per day is recommended.
When to take: Best taken on an empty stomach unless used for digestive support.
Quality and safety
Strength: Contains a potent 3000 GDU/g potency.
Purity: Naturally derived from pineapple stem and made to high quality GMP standards in the UK.
Pure: 100% vegan with no fillers, binders or additives.
Safety precautions
Health consultation: Consult a healthcare professional before taking, especially if you have underlying conditions or are taking other medications.
Potential side effects: May include diarrhoea, stomach problems and skin rashes.
