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. 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. Bromelain-5000 may be a useful dietary adjunct for
individuals wishing to supplement their diets with bromelain. Adults take 1 capsule daily with meals or as
directed by physician. No known side effects reported. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct
light. Keep out of reach of children. Ako H, Cheung A., Matsura P. Isolation of a fibrinolysis
