What is bromelain?
Bromelain is a group of protein-splitting enzymes found in the pineapple plant, Ananas comosus. The bromelain in this product is taken from the stem, where the enzymes are most concentrated. Because bromelain is an enzyme, its strength is described by activity as well as weight: every gram of this extra strength material provides 1000 GDU (gelatin digesting units), which is equal to 1500 MCU (milk clotting units).
Key features
500 mg pineapple stem bromelain per capsule

Why check the activity units?
Two bromelain products with the same milligram weight can differ a great deal in enzyme activity. Stating the GDU, MCU and FCC PU figures lets you compare this capsule with others on equal terms.

I’m someone who has digestive issues, so take bromelain on the days that I don’t eat pineapple. I understand it’s a great enzyme for digestive health. It’s also helpful for inflammation.
