A
specially-coated bromelain formulation has been well studied for its
ability to soothe minor injuries such as sprains1 and for speeding recovery
time after surgery. Approved in Germany since 1993
for treating sinus and nasal inflammation after surgery, bromelain is a
concentrated extract derived from pineapple stems, which contains
natural enzymes that help with joint
inflammation and destruction.
Now,
sufferers of joint inflammation can benefit from recent exciting
evidence that specially coated bromelain-based formulations may
significantly help inflammatory reactions in the joints.
A
number of head-to-head trials have been conducted in people with knee
inflammation. Results demonstrated that enteric-coated bromelain
formulations were at least as effective as other approaches at
relieving joint tenderness and swelling and were better tolerated. One study even found that
bromelain is more effective than
conventional methods for maintaining joint function at rest (41% for bromelain versus 23% for
conventional methods).
Another
study showed that specially-coated bromelain yielded an overall
improvement in general well-being, along with improvement in stiffness
and physical function.
The
reason that bromelain is enteric-coated is that it would
otherwise be used as a digestive enzyme if activated in the
stomach. Enteric-coated bromelain tablets pass into
the small intestine where they are absorbed into the bloodstream
to provide systemic benefits.
