Overview
Bromelain is a type of enzyme called a proteolytic enzyme. It is found in pineapple juice and in the pineapple stem.
Bromelain causes the body to make substances that fight pain and swelling. Bromelain also contains chemicals that seem to interfere with tumor cells and slow blood clotting.
People use bromelain for muscle soreness, pain, burns, kidney stones, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Don't confuse bromelain with other proteolytic enzymes, such as chymotrypsin, ficin, papain, serrapeptase, or trypsin. These are not the same.
Potential health benefits
Bromelain and its potential health benefits have been studied extensively in multiple areas. These include:
Osteoarthritis
A reviewTrusted Source of clinical studies found that bromelain's anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties make it an effective treatment for the pain, soft-tissue swelling, and joint stiffness associated with osteoarthritis.
The review focused on bromelain's effectiveness in treating arthritis of the knee and shoulder. The studies analyzed varied significantly in terms of dosage. Improvements were found in some study participants given 400 milligrams of bromelain, two times daily.
Cardiovascular disease
An abstractTrusted Source reported that bromelain was effective at treating cardiovascular diseases, such as peripheral artery disease, stroke, heart attack, and high blood pressure.
Bromelain inhibits the ability of blood platelets to stick or clump together (aggregation). This may help reduce clot formation and cardiovascular events.
Asthma
The results of an animal studyTrusted Source indicated that bromelain's anti-inflammatory effects might be beneficial to people with asthma or other forms of allergic airway disease.
Chronic sinusitis (chronic rhinosinusitis)
A pilot studyTrusted Source found that bromelain tablets were effective at alleviating swelling, congestion, and other symptoms associated with chronic sinusitis. Study participants were given bromelain daily for a 3-month period.
Colitis
An animal studyTrusted Source found that purified fruit bromelain reduced inflammation and healed mucosal ulcers caused by inflammatory bowel disease in rats.
Burns
A study reviewTrusted Source found that bromelain, when used as a topical cream, was highly effective at safely removing damaged tissue from wounds and from second- and third-degree burns.
Cancer
A 2010 studyTrusted Source indicated that bromelain shows promise in combating cancer. Bromelain may have the ability to positively impact cancer cell growth, and it may help to control the key pathways supporting malignancy.
Side Effects and Risks
As with all supplements, it's important to discuss bromelain with your doctor prior to using it. Bromelain may cause mild side effects in some people, particularly when taken in high doses. These include:
- diarrhea
- nausea
- vomiting
- heavier-than-normal menstrual bleeding
Avoid using bromelain if you take a blood thinner, such as Warfarin, Pradaxa, and others. Bromelain may have an antiplatelet effect on the blood, increasing the potential for excessive bleeding. For this reason, it's also important to avoid bromelain use before and after surgery.
Bromelain should not be used by people who are allergic to pineapple or to other substances that may elicit an allergic reaction in those allergic to pineapple (cross-reactivity). These substances include:
- grass pollen
- latex
- celery
- fennel
- carrots
- wheat
