Product Details

- Enteric coated for optimal absorption
Life Extension Bromelain delivers 500 mg of this beneficial enzyme featuring 2,400 GDU (gelatin digestive units) per gram. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme extracted from pineapple stems. Recent studies suggested its proteolytic activity can contribute to supporting better joint health by aiding in maintaining healthy pathways of chemicals related to normal tissue function. The reason bromelain has to be enteric-coated is that it will be used as a digestive enzyme if activated in the stomach. Enteric-coated bromelain tablets pass into the small intestine where they are absorbed to provide benefits.
