Bromelain 400 mg — 60 Capsules — Proteolytic Enzyme from Pineapple for Inflammation & Recovery*
Our Bromelain combines 400 mg of proteolytic enzyme (standardized to 2,400 GDUs/g) from pineapple stem in capsules to support a healthy inflammatory response, promote soft-tissue recovery after physical stress, help maintain digestive protein breakdown, support joint comfort in context, promote reduction in post-procedure swelling and discomfort, help maintain inflammatory marker balance, provide adjunct support for exercise recovery signals, support overall enzymatic wellness, promote comfort in musculoskeletal tissues, help maintain oxidative balance, and support comprehensive proteolytic enzyme benefits* — while respecting natural pineapple sourcing. Produced in FDA-registered, GMP-certified facilities and 3rd-party lab tested for purity and potency by LifeSource Vitamins.
