Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme mixture derived from the stem, fruit, and juice of the pineapple plant. People use bromelain as a supplement for various health benefits, including supporting a normal inflammatory response, improving digestion, and easing sinus discomfort. Healers have used this enzyme for hundreds of years in many different ways. Now, people who are looking for all-natural ways to support their health and a normal inflammatory response use bromelain in health supplements or also as an ingredient in skin creams.

Where Does Bromelain Come From?

During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, pineapple plants were introduced to the Asia Pacific and became the first commercial crop. Bromelain is a complex natural mixture of proteolytic enzymes derived from pineapple and possesses notable properties. Bromelain is present in the stems of pineapple as well as the yellow fleshy fruit of the plant. Manufacturers usually sell bromelain as a capsule, cream, powder, or tablet.

Bromelain Benefits

Bromelain is categorized as a dietary supplement and is listed under the FDA's food substance regulations. People often use bromelain supplements to support the comfort of joints affected by osteoarthritis. A 2004 review of clinical studies looked at bromelain as a well-tolerated option people use for the joint discomfort associated with osteoarthritis, and pointed to its role in supporting a healthy inflammatory response.

According to a 2016 review of studies, bromelain may help support a healthy immune response and the body's normal inflammatory processes.

In addition to its association with a healthy inflammatory response, bromelain has also been studied for digestion and other general wellness uses.
