Bromelain

Bromelain is a potential anti-inflammatory agent so may be useful for treating arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. It also promotes good digestion.

It is believed to inhibit the body's production of prostaglandins associated with inflammation and pain, whilst promoting the formation of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins (prostaglandins are hormone-like substances).

Bromelain can work especially well when taken in conjunction with turmeric, and many practitioners recommend taking both bromelain and turmeric alongside each other
