The Benefits of Bromelain

pineapple

Bromelain is an extract of the pineapple, the tropical fruit that is a member of the Bromeliaceae plant family. Pineapples are also known as ananas, nanas, and pina. Bromelain is extracted predominately from the stems of pineapples, but is also found in the fruit, as well.

Fresh pineapple can be found in grocery stores pretty much everywhere. The plant was originally indigenous to southern Brazil and Paraguay, but is now grown in Spain, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Hawaii, and elsewhere, and can be grown in greenhouses.

Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory agent that contains a proteolytic enzyme. Proteolytic enzymes can dissolve proteins. The extract is most often used after sports injuries, to relieve edema, and after surgical procedures to help reduce swelling. 

Remember that not all surgeons agree that homeopathic remedies work. Always ask your surgeon before taking any medication or supplement as a part of your cosmetic surgery recovery plan.
