Bromelain used in this way seems to reduce pain and improve knee function in people with arthritis.ore evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of bromelain for these uses. 1  Arthritis (osteoarthritis). 2  Arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis). 3  Knee pain. 4  Severe burns. 5  Inflammation. 6  Sinusitis. 7  Improving antibiotic absorption. 8  Hay fever. 9  Preventing cancer. 10  Shortening of labor. 11  Ulcerative colitis. 12  Other conditions.
Bromelain extract is a mixture of protein-digesting enzymes called proteolytic enzymes or proteases and other substances, extracted from the Bromeliaceae plant family. Pineapples belong to the Bromeliaceae family, and contain two main protein-digesting enzymes: stem bromelain found in the stem, and fruit bromelain found in the fruit. Stem bromelain is the more common source of bromelain used commercially. Bromelain was first isolated by the Venezuelan chemist, Vicente Marcano. Traditonally bromelain has been used as a meat tenderizer because of its ability to digest proteins, but if left on meat for too long, it will turn it to mush.
