NOW Foods Supplements, Bromelain (Natural Proteolytic Enzyme) 2,400 GDU/g - 500 mg, Natural Proteolytic Enzyme*, 120 Veg Capsules

I'm both concerned and moved by your message about your daughter's health challenges with cerebral palsy. While I understand you're finding benefits from bromelain, I want to ensure your family stays safe. Let me share some important medical context:Given your daughter's complex medical needs (breathing issues, muscle tone challenges, and easy bruising), it's crucial that any supplements be discussed with her medical team. Bromelain can interact with certain medications and may affect blood clotting.For someone who bruises easily, special care is needed with blood-thinning substances like bromelain. Her doctors should monitor this closely.While bromelain does have documented anti-inflammatory properties, it's essential to have proper medical supervision of her C-reactive protein levels and overall inflammatory markers.Have you discussed using bromelain with your daughter's healthcare providers? They can help ensure it's being used safely alongside her other treatments and monitor for any potential interactions.Regarding your own pain management - chronic pain can be really challenging to deal with. While it's good that you've found something helpful, I'd still encourage you to work with a doctor to get a proper diagnosis of the underlying cause of your pain, if you haven't already.

After following a rather simple routine I came across online, my gout episodes have decreased from 2 - 3 bad episodes over a span of 18 months to 0, 20 months and counting. Before I go into the 3 part maintenance program, let me first warn you that this simple and healthy alternative to prescription drugs will not work, or I should say, most likely, won't work, if you don't modify your diet, that is to say, this is not a miracle drug that will allow you to drink as much beer and whiskey as you please or eat tons of rich dark turkey meat and brown gravy, giblets or high salted processed foods like Vienna Sausages or sweet breads, but if you are looking for an easy to follow remedy that will allow you to have a scotch once in a while or perhaps indulge in something rich and savory, without worrying about a painful gout episode, you may consider the following program.3 Bromelain 2400GDU/500mg daily 1 morning, 1 afternoon and 1 anytime between 5PM - 9PM (with dinner)2 oz daily of R.W. Knudsen JUST BLACK CHERRY this brand is available at my local grocery store. It does not have to be the same brand, but what it MUST be is 100% juice. Don't be deceived by the front label that may claim 100% fruit juice or 100% Juice, go directly to the Nutrition Label and read the INGREDIENTS section, the product should consist of a single ingredient "juice from ripe whole black cherries" if anything else is listed put the bottle back on the shelf and seek another until you find the singular ingredient under the ingredients section of the Nutrition label.1 tablespoon of Bragg Organic RAW Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (except no substitute) twice a day morning and dinner time, add to 8oz of water and sip, you may also take the ACV straight from the tablespoon, but sipping it with water adds an additional benefit, it also prevents acid reflux, which folks with gout tend to also suffer from.At the early warning signs of an attack take 3 Bromelain 2400 Gdu/500mg at morning at afternoon at dinner and 2 before bed and increase black cherry juice to 16 - 20 oz daily, ACV remains the same, repeat this program for 3 to 5 days then return to maintenance dosage.Full disclosure: I am not a nutritionist, a doctor or a person involved in the health industry. This program in addition to a gout friendly diet, has worked for me and it may work for you.I have been using NOW Bromelain 2400 Gdu/500mg, because it comes in the correct prescribed dosage I discovered online. The caps are easy to swallow and keep nicely in the fridge (where I keep several spare bottles). Before coming across NOW, I paid a lot more for a lot less in over priced Health Stores, none of which contain the proper single capsule dosage required for the system to be effective.One more thing, gout no gout, it is a good idea to drink at least 8 8 0z glasses of water daily and more if it is on a day you intend to drink alcohol or partake in strenuous exercise which could lead to dehydration.

I take various other supplements from this brand and they have not failed me. This is my first time ordering from Amazon and it matches my order that I've gotten directly from the brand so I trust that this is a real product. It is good for digestion and inflammation. It does not upset my stomach which is good and I feel taking this daily will help with my total health. I do eat pineapple but not daily and not enough to eliminate this supplement. Definitely recommend.

They seem to work well. I did have to add D Mannose to my daily intake in order to get rid of all the pain.

So in December 2020 I had MAJOR Sinus issues with the worst sinus inflammation I’ve ever had (in my right nose) I get sinus issues around that time every year for the past few years and I tried EVERYTHING!! This time I went to 2 different Dr.‘a and got 2 shots by one (1 was a steroid shot) and got prescribed steroid pills TWICE by both Dr.‘s for sinus inflammation but the inflammation in my right nose (my sinuses) did not go away! It was extremely frustrating! Usually shots work but not that time!So I did some research and ran across a post naming vitamins that help sinus inflammation and I bought these and other vitamins! But this is the vitamin that healed me and cleared up my Sinus inflammation!I had lost my sense of smell and taste due to the sinus inflammation, I had sooo much pressure I could barely talk or eat. I had throbbing headaches, I did saline nasal washes and that helped cleared up the mucus but didn’t get rid of the inflammation! My nose was full of so much pressure it would leak. By far the worst sinuses I’ve ever had in my life! It made me cry a lot!In February 2021 I got the pills and took them immediately 2x per day! A few weeks later in March 2021 the Bromelain vitamins got rid of that inflammation in my sinuses, my right nose.While taking them my right nose would throb and leak constantly (in a good way! The inflammation was clearing up!) That’s how I knew it was working. And I was able to breathe out of my right nose for the first time in months! (since early December 2020) it just happened day by day.It’s September 2021 and my sense of smell still isn’t back 100% and my sense of taste is still working on slowly going back to normal because of how INTENSE my sinuses were, my sinuses were so bad the worst it’s ever been but these pills saved me from going to a ENT and saved me lots of money. I wish I took them earlier like back in December. I also came back for another bottle because I loved it so much!
