Is Bromelain Anti-Inflammatory?

Bromelain is recognised for its anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce swelling and pain by inhibiting pro-inflammatory compounds.¹

Bromelain for Cardiovascular Health

It may also support heart health by acting as a natural anticoagulant, helping to maintain healthy blood flow.² It may help prevent blood clot formation, supporting healthy circulation and potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties may contribute to the maintenance of healthy blood vessels.

Bromelain for Gut Health and Digestion

As a protease enzyme, bromelain supports digestion by helping to break down proteins,³ which may enhance nutrient absorption and help alleviate bloating or indigestion. Additionally, it supports soothing the gut lining.⁴

Bromelain and Wound Healing

Bromelain may also support wound healing by reducing swelling, bruising, and inflammation. It can aid recovery from cuts, bruises, or surgery by promoting tissue repair and alleviating discomfort.⁵ ⁶

Bromelain for Immune Health?

Stimulating immune cells, bromelain may support the body’s ability to fight infections. It also helps modulate inflammation, potentially reducing the risk of chronic immune responses and easing symptoms of respiratory conditions such as sinus congestion.
