Key Health Benefits

Use Case	Summary	PubMed Link
Anti-inflammatory and Edema Reduction	Bromelain exhibits notable anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects. Clinical trials have shown significantly less post-operative swelling and inflammatory response in bromelain-treated patients compared to controls.	PubMed
Osteoarthritis Pain Relief	Studies suggest bromelain’s anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties can help relieve osteoarthritis pain. It may serve as a safer alternative or adjunct to NSAIDs for managing osteoarthritis symptoms.	PubMed
Digestive Support (Protein Digestion)	Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that aids digestion by breaking down dietary proteins for easier absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. This enhances protein digestion and nutrient uptake.	PubMed
Sinusitis and Respiratory Relief	Bromelain has been shown to alleviate sinusitis symptoms and improve breathing. In children with acute sinusitis, bromelain treatment led to faster symptom resolution (~6.6 days vs ~8.0 days with standard care, p≈0.005). Researchers concluded that bromelain (a proteolytic enzyme) can significantly benefit sinusitis patients.	PubMed
Wound Healing and Tissue Repair	Evidence indicates bromelain can promote faster wound healing and tissue repair. For example, bromelain supplementation accelerated wound contraction, reduced inflammation, and improved the strength of repaired tissue in experimental models. It is even used as a topical enzymatic debriding agent to remove dead tissue and facilitate healing in burns and other injuries.	PubMed

Digestive Enzyme Support	1 capsule (500 mg) with each protein-rich meal (up to 3/day)
Sinus & Respiratory Relief	2 capsules (500 mg) three times daily until symptom resolution
Wound Healing	2 capsules (500 mg) twice daily during early healing phase

What to Avoid

Substance / Condition	Why to Avoid	Advice
Anticoagulant Medications	Bromelain can potentiate blood-thinning effects, raising bleeding risk	Consult your physician if on warfarin/heparin/aspirin
Allergy to Pineapple	Bromelain is derived from pineapple; may trigger allergic reactions	Avoid use if you have known pineapple allergy
High-Protein Meals (for ED)	Large protein bolus can compete for bromelain’s site of action	Separate digestive-support dosing by 30 min before/after meals
Peptic Ulcer Disease	Bromelain may exacerbate gastric irritation in ulcer patients	Use under medical supervision or avoid if active ulcer
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding	Limited safety data in pregnancy; high-dose digestive enzymes may be inadvisable	Consult healthcare provider before use
