Bromelain
Nature's Premier Anti-Inflammatory Herb
Bromelain is a mixture of sulfur-containing,
protein-digesting enzymes from the stem of Anansus cosmosis
(pineapple). Since it was introduced as a medicinal agent in
1957, more than 200 scientific papers on bromelain's medicinal uses
have appeared in the medical literature. It is one of the most
well-studied anti-inflammatory herbs known. Unless an individual
is allergic to pineapple (in which case, don't use bromelain!) the
safety profile of this herb is excellent. Of all the
anti-inflammatory substances available (including drugs), bromelain
is the one I turn to first.
Bromelain has no direct immune or
antimicrobial effects. Instead, it acts to increase the effect of
other immune cells by dissolving the mucous coat that bacteria use
to "shield" themselves from the immune system. Some studies have
shown it to be as effective as antibiotics for treatment of
pneumonia, bronchitis, and dental, skin and kidney infection.
Bromelain is known to:
- Reduce inflammation
- Reduce swelling
- Increase activity of the body's defense
system
- Cleave antigen / antibody complexes
- Improve blood viscosity
Bromelain is useful in: All types of
infection, injuries, inflammation, sinusitis, cardiovascular disease, rheumatic
disease, autoimmune disease, and cancer.
Suggested Dose: Begin with 2 capsules,
3 to 4 times per day between meals for acute infection or severe
inflammation. Decrease dose to 1 capsule, 3 to 4 times daily
as symptoms improve.
Each (1) capsule contains:
400 mg of
2,400 mcu-strength bromelain.
This is one of the highest potencies
of bromelain available. Don't be fooled! It's not just the "milligrams per
capsule," but the POTENCY of the enzyme (the "mcu"or
GDU) that determines
OVERALL potency. Our Wellness Club brand of
bromelain offers the highest potency and purity available!
