†Gelatin Digesting Units - a measure of proteolytic (protein digesting)activity.
Bromelain is a digestive enzyme found in the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus). It is best known as a digestive aid and for its anti-inflammatory effects in traumatic injuries and after surgery. Bromelain has also been used successfully to treat a number of disorders, including heart disease, arthritis, upper respiratory tract infection, and Peyronie's disease (a condition that affects the genitourinary tract and can cause sexual dysfunction in men). Bromelain has also been used successfully to heal wounds caused by burns and to increase the actions of certain antibiotics. Please refer to the interactions section for more information.
Uses:
Reduces pain, bruising, and swelling from trauma (for example, sports injuries) or surgery and speeds the healing process.
Relieves the symptoms of gastrointestinal upset, aids in the healing of gastric ulcers, and is used as a digestive enzyme for pancreatic insufficiency.
Relieves the symptoms of angina, and because it inhibits clot formation and breaks down build-up of plaque in arteries, it is useful for thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, and atherosclerosis.
Reduces joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, sciatica, bursitis, tendonitis, and scleroderma.
Increases the actions of antibiotics.
Suppresses cough and decreases bronchial secretions, resulting in increased lung function in patients with upper respiratory tract infections. It is also effective in patients with sinusitis.
Can prevent the thickening of the fibrous connective tissue in the penis associated with Peyronie's disease.
Used for healing burns.
