Bromelain, found in pineapple stems, is a combination of multiple proteolytic enzymes classified as cysteine or thiol proteinases. Bromelain’s long history as a digestive aid is partly attributed to its protein-digesting ability over a wide pH range. However, it has also been shown to stimulate pancreatic enzyme production and improve epithelial integrity in experimental models. 1,2
In addition to its function as a digestive enzyme, bromelain has been shown to be absorbed in the digestive tract and retain its enzymatic activity in the blood. 3 Among its many enzymatic effects, bromelain has been shown to be a potent anti-inflammatory agent, reducing levels of inflammatory signals, such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB). 4–6
Bromelain’s anti-inflammatory, fibrinolytic, and analgesic effects mediate many of its musculoskeletal benefits as well. In an open-label trial, bromelain supplementation was shown to reduce acute knee pain as well as stiffness and function, with a dose-dependent effect. 7 In another clinical trial of mild/moderate knee osteoarthritis, bromelain had similar efficacy to standard therapy at four weeks. By 16 weeks, improvements in pain, stiffness, and function were observed with bromelain supplementation. 8 More rapid recovery and reduction of pain and swelling following multiple types of minor trauma have been reported with bromelain as well. 9–11
