Bromelain

 

    I am always trying new supplements etc to find something that helps improve my health in some way. Then I try it and it either works or it doesn't but I haven't been keeping a record so sometimes I can't remember if something worked or just exactly why it didn't work so I have decided to start putting on my blog what I am trying and what I expect to happen vs what does happen. 

This time I am trying bromelain. I bought the above brand from Walmart. I read something about bromelain and then went and watched some videos on Youtube. Here is what I learned it supposed to help with

1. good for reducing inflammation in the body. 
2. aid in digestion
3. alleviate minor aches and pains.

My main goal is reduce inflammation. I am starting with 1000mg per day. 

Some warnings while taking:  

Take blood thinners (anticoagulants), as bromelain can increase the risk of bleeding.

Are taking antibiotics (like amoxicillin or tetracycline), as bromelain can enhance their absorption

You can get bromelain from the core and stem of pineapple but its harder to extract so that is why I chose supplement form.  I will update in a couple weeks and let you know how it seems to be doing for me
