Bromelain Capsules contain Bromelain which is one of a group of proteolytic enzymes, derived from the exotic pineapple fruit. Bromelain is particularly useful for reducing muscle and tissue inflammation and a powerful digestive aid. This enzyme is effective throughout the digestive system not only in the acid present in the stomach but also in the alkaline environment of the intestine.
