NOW Foods, Bromelain may help reduce inflammation and swelling in the body. It's also thought to aid in digestion and may support joint health.
Taking NOW Foods Bromelain daily is generally considered safe for most people when used as directed. However, long-term use should be monitored for any potential side effects.
Some studies suggest bromelain may have protective effects on the kidneys, but more research is needed. As with any supplement, those with kidney issues should exercise caution.
Pineapple is the primary natural source of bromelain, particularly in the stem and core. The enzyme is most concentrated in fresh pineapple.
People with pineapple allergies, bleeding disorders, or those taking blood thinners should avoid bromelain. It's also not recommended for those about to undergo surgery.
Papain, derived from papaya, is often used as a substitute for bromelain. Other proteolytic enzymes like serrapeptase or nattokinase may also be considered for similar effects.
