Bromelain 60 Capsules – Holistic

Bromelain 60 Capsules – Holistic

Bromelain is a mixture of proteases (enzymes that break down proteins) that occur naturally in pineapples (Ananas comosus). Holistic Bromelain is derived from the pineapple stem, which is particularly rich in this substance. Bromelain has been traditionally used in many cultures for its various health-promoting properties.

High-dose bromelain, 1250 GDU per capsule
With acid-resistant capsules – ensures optimal bromelain activity

Bromelain’s properties have attracted interest for various uses, including its ability to aid digestion. When taken with meals, bromelain helps the body break down complex proteins from food, for an easier post-meal stomach feeling.
Bromelain has also been shown to be effective when taken between meals, at least 1 hour before a meal or at least 2 hours after a meal. Bromelain is then absorbed into the bloodstream and can break down unwanted proteins in the body (and support the body’s natural anti-inflammatory processes).

ACID-RESISTANT CAPSULES FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT

The active ingredients in Holistic Bromelain are protected by acid-resistant capsules to ensure that the enzymes are not broken down too early in the digestive process. Instead, it allows the enzymes to reach the small intestine where bromelain can be absorbed from the gut. Without extra-tough capsules, there is a risk that the enzymes will be broken down by the hydrochloric acid in the stomach, destroying their effect.

ENZYME ACTIVITY AND MEASUREMENT

The strength of enzymes is measured in different units of activity. The amount or weight in mg is not relevant to describe the effect of an enzyme, e.g. 1 g bromelain may have an enzyme activity of 600 GDU, 1200 GDU or 2400 GDU. Holistic Bromelain has an enzyme activity of 2,500 GDU/gram, which amounts to 1,250 GDU per capsule, corresponding to an activity of 1,875 MCU per capsule.
