What is Bromelain?

Bromelain, an enzyme which breaks down protein, is a proteolytic enzyme that is found naturally in the stems of pineapples.

Proteolytic enzymes like bromelain have been suggested to assist the immune system in removing unhealthy cells. Unhealthy cells can sometimes create a protective shield that conceals them from the immune system, making it difficult for the body’s defense mechanisms to recognize and eliminate these rogue cells.

Proteolytic enzymes have the ability to break down proteins. In the context of unhealthy cells, they may help degrade or disrupt the protective layer that these cells use to evade detection.

What is Bromelain used for?

Bromelain helps produce enzymes that contribute to overall health and potentially offer protection against certain illnesses.

It has shown potential in preventing blood clots, edema, and swelling.

It promotes the development of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and triggers the production of specific cytokines.

It is traditionally used in the medical world as a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling agent, with additional properties such as fibrinolysis, anti-edema, and antithrombosis.

Bromelain is a mixture of endopeptidases and various compounds, including phosphatase, glucosidase, peroxidase, cellulase, escharase, and protease inhibitors.

Bromelain has the capability to both activate and suppress T cell responses.
