Swanson ® Bromelain is a dietary supplement in the form of vegetable capsules containing bromelain. Each capsule allows you to supplement your diet with 500 mg of active ingredient. Bromelain - what is it? Bromelain, also called bromelain, is a mixture of digestive enzymes found naturally in pineapples. Proteolytic enzymes are produced by plants to protect them from insect larvae. Bromelain was first extracted in a laboratory in the late 19th century. Since then, scientific research on its properties has been ongoing, and this ingredient is most commonly used in Asian countries. In the human diet, bromelain is classified as one of the so-called phytonutrients, i.e. active ingredients of natural origin with constantly discovered health-promoting potential. Bromelain 500 mg formula from Swanson ® contains no ingredients of animal origin, and the package of 60 vegetarian capsules will allow two months of daily supplementation with valuable active ingredients of natural origin.
