Swanson Bromelain veggie caps feature super-potent bromelain in a delayed-release veggie cap that enables it to pass through the stomach without losing its enzymatic potential, delivering a powerful 1,200 GDU to be absorbed in the lower gastrointestinal tract for optimal systemic activity. GDU (gelatin digesting units) measures the digestive potential of an enzyme—the higher the number the greater the activity.
Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from the stem of the pineapple that has protein-digesting properties. Proteases like bromelain break down the protein you get from food and turns it into amino acids, helping to ensure you get the most out of the foods you eat. Your body then uses these amino acids for various functions.
Bromelain can deliver outstanding support for respiratory and joint function and comfort as well. Ongoing research suggests that bromelain may also promote arterial health and blood flow, in addition to soothing the GI tract.

Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme naturally found in pineapple that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. It supports normal protein metabolism and has been studied for its role in supporting healthy tissue function and overall wellness. - How does bromelain support protein digestion?
Bromelain helps digest dietary proteins by breaking them down into smaller, more easily absorbed components. This supports efficient protein digestion and helps the body make use of the amino acids needed for normal growth, repair, and maintenance. - How does bromelain support joint health?
In addition to its digestive role, bromelain has been studied for its ability to support joint comfort, flexibility, and mobility. It is commonly included in joint health formulas to help maintain healthy connective tissues and support an active lifestyle. - Is Swanson Bromelain suitable for special diets?
