BIOCHEMISTRY Bromelain's potency is measured in gelatin-digesting units (GDU). PHYSIOLOGY Bromelain is a powerful anti-inflammatory and protein-digesting enzyme. It inhibits platelet aggravation and dissolves fibrin clots, according to Hans A. Nieper. Oral administration of the enzymes bromelain, papain or amylase, or combinations of them, induces synthesis of anticancer compounds called cyto-kines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-6) in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells when first incubated out of the body with interferon-gamma. Similar results were obtained in vitro, applying all of the compounds simultaneously. INDICATIONS Poor digestion of protein, and inflammation due to injury or surgery. Bromelain is used as adjunctive therapy to reduce inflammation and edema, and to accelerate tissue repair. DIRECTIONS FOR USE 300 to 500 mg (based on 2,000 GDU/gram), one to three times daily. Taken after meals, Bromelain helps break down proteins for easier digestion. It is taken between meals for its anti-inflammatory action. TOXICITY, CAUTIONS & CONTRAINDICATIONS Contraindicated in the presence of gastric ulcers or irritation. Can cause allergic reactions and skin irritation. No toxicity.
