Promotes joint health, comfort & more
Life Extension’s enteric-coated bromelain helps inhibit
inflammation
to support joint health and promotes joint comfort &
function.
Overview
What Is Specially-Coated Bromelain?
Bromelain, a mixture of proteases extracted from the stem
of the pineapple, inhibits inflammatory factors to support joint health.
Bromelain’s fluid-regulating properties may result from its ability to
inhibit inflammatory cytokine production, inhibit neutrophil migration
and more.
Bromelain has to be enteric coated so that it will not be activated in the stomach and used as a digestive enzyme.
Specially-Coated Bromelain Benefits
- Inhibits inflammation to support joint health
- Supports joint comfort & function
- Supports healthy blood viscosity
Joint Health Support
Specially-coated
bromelain may significantly inhibit inflammatory reactions to support
joint health. Research has demonstrated that enteric-coated bromelain
formulations are at least as effective as other approaches in supporting
joint comfort, function & health. One clinical study found that
bromelain is more effective than other methods for maintaining joint
function at rest.
Bromelain, a mixture of proteases extracted from the stem of the
pineapple, has been used by Europeans for many years to inhibit
inflammatory factors to support joint health.
How bromelain works
Bromelain’s fluid-regulating properties may result from its ability
to inhibit inflammatory cytokine production to support joint health,
inhibit neutrophil migration and more. Preclinical research also shows
that bromelain may help support healthy blood viscosity and blood
platelet aggregation.1-3
Enteric coated to bypass stomach
Bromelain has to be enteric coated so that it will not be activated
in the stomach and used as a digestive enzyme. Enteric-coated bromelain
tablets pass into the small intestine, where the bromelain is absorbed
into the bloodstream to provide systemic benefits.4
Clinically studied to support joint health
Specially-coated bromelain promotes a healthy inflammatory response
to support joint health. Research has demonstrated that enteric-coated
bromelain formulations are at least as effective as other approaches in
supporting joint comfort, function and health.5
One clinical study found that bromelain is more effective than other
methods for maintaining joint function at rest (41 percent for bromelain
vs. 23 percent for other methods).6 Another clinical study
showed that specially-coated bromelain yielded an overall improvement in
general well-being, along with improvement in comfort and physical
function.7
