DESCRIPTION
Bromelain-5000, provided by Douglas Laboratories,
supplies 5,000 m.c.u (milk clotting units) per capsule.
Milk clotting units are a unit of measure of enzymatic
activity.
FUNCTIONS
Bromelain is obtained from the lower stems of the
pineapple plant. It is a combination of enzymes that
have shown to support healthy inflammatory
response. It reduces the production of
proinflammatory prostaglandins by modulating the
arachidonate cascade. Its enzymatic activity may
reduce the discomfort associated with injuries.
Bromelain also acts to help prevent allergens from
crossing the gastrointestinal tract, and assists in the
breakdown of large macromolecular protein
complexes. This reduces the chance that these
complexes will leave the stomach untouched or in
large fractions retaining their recognizable antigenic
form that could pass through gastric or intestinal
lesions thereby inducing an allergenic response.
INDICATIONS
Bromelain-5000 may be a useful dietary adjunct for
individuals wishing to supplement their diets with
bromelain.
