It was once widely believed that most orally ingested enzymes are destroyed by the digestive juices in the stomach prior to being absorbed. However, it has been shown scientifically that Bromelain does not lose its potency as it travels through the stomach. Bromelain is an enzyme with the ability to digest proteins. It is widely recognized for its potentially positive impact on joint and tissue health and many studies have shown that it may help to temporarily alleviate occasional pain and discomfort due to overexertion or minor stress. Protocol for Life Balance™ Bromelain 2400 GDU is one of the highest natural potencies of this proteolytic enzyme available and it is encapsulated in our unique Vcaps® for a 100% vegetarian formula.* Cautions and Interactions Bromelain may thin the blood to some extent.
