Mt. Maunganui, New Zealand (prHWY.com) March 4, 2013 - Pineapple it just not a delicious fruit, it is very healthy too. Thanks to a proteolytic enzyme naturally present in its stems and juice called Bromelain. Today, Bromelain enzyme is widely used as a nutritional supplement because of its amazing benefits to general well-being and the prevention of numerous diseases. But actually, pineapple has long been used by the natives of Central and South America for the benefits of bromelain. It has been shown to aid in proper digestion and possess potent anti-inflammatory properties, and recent studies reveal that there could be more about this pineapple enzyme and health.

There are two kinds of Bromelain, depending on what part of the pineapple it is derived from - fruit bromelain and stem bromelain. Of the two kinds, the stem bromelain is widely available because it isusually discarded after the fruit is harvested. Bromelain supplements in the form of capsules and pills are made commercially available to provide the amazing bromelain benefits to those suffering from conditions bromelain is known to provide relief.

As a proteolytic enzyme, bromelain breaks down protein into its simpler forms called amino acids. And unlike other environment-sensitive enzymes, Bromelaine works both in alkaline and acidic environments.By increasing the body's supply of amino acids, bromelain aids in manufacturing protein-based structures and chemicals in the body like muscles, enzymes, and neurotransmitters. When cooking destroys enzymes in the food, bromelain can help replenish them so you have more to digest proteins and make useful amino acids to achieve overall health.

The most established among all bromelain benefits is its role as a natural remedy for arthritis because of its potent anti-inflammatory properties. It can be used as an alternative for synthetic analgesics like ibuprofen, naproxen, and diclofenac. Aside from arthritis treatment, bromelain can also aid in improving mobility and relieving pain in patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. In Europe, bromelain supplements are prescribed for post-surgery inflammation for its analgesic effects and speed up healing. Bromelain is also very useful for sports enthusiasts, especially in the treatment of sports and exercise-related injuries like bruises, muscle sprains and strains, muscle injuries, and tendonitis.

Emerging studies on bromelain suggests that it has potential in the treatment of burn injuries because of its anti-septic combine with anti-inflammatory actions. When used together with other digestive enzymes like amylase (for carbohydrates) and lipase (for fats), bromelain supports effective digestion. Additionally, it prevents common digestive discomforts like heartburn and indigestion. It also provides immune support with its anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal activities. Bromelain's anti-microbial mechanisms make it useful for improving symptoms of bronchitis, pneumonia, and some forms of UTI. Bromelain enzyme appears to prevent the formation of blood clots in the bloodstream, one of the common causes of stroke, heart attack, and thrombophlebitis.
