Have a Question?

Ask a Question

  • What are the benefits of taking bromelain?

    Bromelain is a group of enzymes found in pineapples that may help reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain. It may also aid in digestion, promote wound healing, and support the immune system.

  • Can I take bromelain supplement every day?

    Yes, bromelain supplements can be taken daily, but it's essential to follow the recommended dosage on the product label or as directed by a healthcare professional. Long-term use of high doses may increase the risk of side effects.

  • When should I take bromelain, morning or night?

    Bromelain can be taken at any time of day, but it is often recommended to take it on an empty stomach for better absorption. However, if you experience digestive discomfort, taking bromelain with meals may help alleviate these symptoms.
