Närokällan Bromelain 600 GDU 60 capsules

What is Bromelain?
Bromelain is a natural enzyme complex extracted from the stem of the pineapple plant. It primarily consists of proteolytic enzymes (proteases), which help break down protein into smaller components that the body can more easily absorb.

Is Närokällan Bromelain resistant to stomach acid?
Unlike many other enzymes, bromelain remains active both in the acidic environment of the stomach and in the more alkaline environment of the intestines. This makes it a versatile support for digestion. Research has also shown that bromelain may have additional biological properties – for example, it may help reduce swelling and support the body’s natural recovery processes after physical exertion.

Extra-strong enzyme from pineapple stem
Närokällan Bromelain contains a highly concentrated bromelain enzyme, extracted from the pineapple stem – the part of the plant that is especially rich in enzymes.

How is the strength of bromelain measured?
The strength is measured in GDU (Gelatin Digestion Units) and sometimes also in MCU (Milk Clotting Units). The higher the GDU/MCU value, the more active the enzyme. Närokällan Bromelain provides 600 GDU / 900 MCU per capsule, which is considered a high potency.

When should I take bromelain?

• With meals – to support the breakdown of protein-rich foods

• Between meals – to support the body’s natural recovery and balance

Can bromelain be combined with other enzyme supplements?
Yes. Bromelain primarily breaks down protein, while other enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and lactase help digest carbohydrates, fats, and milk sugar. Taken together, bromelain and other enzymes provide broader digestive support.

Is the product vegan?
Yes, bromelain is plant-based and the capsules are made from vegetable cellulose, making the product completely vegan.
