Bromelain is particularly useful for reducing muscle and tissue inflammation and is a powerful digestive aid. This enzyme is effective throughout the digestive system, not only in the acid present in the stomach, but also in the alkaline environment of the intestine.
Bromelain activity is measured in GDUs (Gelatin Digesting Units); this is a measure of proteolytic (protein-digesting) activity.
