Bromelain capsules - high strength 3000 GDU/g - 500 mg per capsule

Naturally extracted 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
Bromelain can reduce inflammation in the sinuses and improve conditions affecting breathing and nasal passages.

🔥 Anti-inflammatory and pain management
Bromelain has shown promise in reducing inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteomyelofibrosis.

🦠 Digestive health
Bromelain acts as a protease and helps break down proteins for better absorption in the small intestine. Pineapple also contains fiber which supports digestion.

🦠 COVID-19 and prolonged COVID

• Spike protein cleavage: In laboratory studies, bromelain has been shown to break down the spike protein in SARS-CoV-2.

• Symptom relief in prolonged COVID: May help reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system to relieve symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath and brain fog.

• Refund: May accelerate healing after COVID-19 by reducing inflammation and potentially inhibiting viral replication.

🔬 Research: Preliminary studies suggest that bromelain may reduce the severity of COVID-19 and improve symptoms in prolonged COVID. More research is needed.

Other notable benefits

• 💪 Strengthens the immune system

• 🏃♂️ Reduces muscle pain after exercise and promotes wound healing

• ❤️ Potential anti-cancer and cardiovascular benefits (under further research)
