Douglas Laboratories Bromelain 500mg
If you’re feeling your age when you wake up in the morning to creaky knees, sore joints and notice you’re not quite as mobile as you once were, power up with pineapple. Sure, it’s a delicious fruit that makes an excellent addition to your brunch menu, but the plant itself contains some impressive compounds your body can really use.
And that’s exactly what Douglas Laboratories Bromelain 500mg does. It’s made with Bromelain, which is extracted from the lower parts of the pineapple plant. And it’s your bones’ new best friend. Seriously! Bromelain is an enzyme we can get behind because it plays a role in so much healthy function, especially as you age.*
Here are some of the reasons you should add Douglas Laboratories Bromelain 500mg to your diet:
It contains enough Bromelain to help your body out: You can’t get this kind of support by chomping on pineapple. First, because you’d have to consume the stems, which don’t exactly taste great. And second, because you wouldn’t be consuming nearly enough of the compound to make much of a difference for overall wellness!
It’s beneficial for healthy digestion: Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme, which means it helps your body break down and metabolize protein. When you add Bromelain to your routine, it can be helpful for digestion and may help you process your food more efficiently, especially if you eat a high-protein diet.*
It promotes joint health: If you experience occasional joint discomfort, or you’re looking to support joint comfort and mobility over time, Bromelain may help with overall joint wellness.* It helps maintain the body’s healthy inflammatory response for joint wellness.*
It supports your skeletal system as you age: It becomes even more important to care for your skeletal system as you age. Bromelain may help with that by promoting bone strength and joint mobility as the years go by.*

FAQs About Douglas Laboratories Bromelain 500mg Capsules
Q: Does bromelain help with joint discomfort, or is it more for digestion? A: A lot of people use bromelain for occasional joint discomfort, not just digestion. This one gives you 500 mg per capsule from pineapple stem, and bromelain is commonly used for joints and tissue recovery.
Q: How many capsules should I take per day? A: One capsule 1 to 4 times daily. I’d usually start with 1 a day and see how you do, unless your practitioner told you to take more.
Q: Should I take this with food or on an empty stomach? A: Either can work. It really depends on why you’re taking it. A lot of people take bromelain away from food when they’re using it for joints, while taking it with food can be easier on the stomach.
Q: Why does this one say 2,400 GDU per gram? A: That’s the enzyme activity, not just the weight. Higher GDU means the bromelain is more active. This one is standardized to 2,400 GDU per gram, with 500 mg per capsule.
Q: I've heard bromelain can interact with medications. Is that true? A: Yes. Be careful with medications, especially blood thinners, since bromelain may raise the chance of bruising or bleeding. If you take prescriptions regularly, it’s smart to check with your pharmacist.
Q: Is this okay if I'm pregnant or nursing? A: No, I’d skip it unless your OB or midwife specifically tells you otherwise. This one is not for pregnant or lactating women.
Q: Is this one vegetarian? A: Yeah, it is. The capsule is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, so there’s no gelatin in it.
