How PINEAPPLES Can Save Your Health! 

Common Names:  bromelain, pineapple extract
(Pineapple Plant) Ananas comosus

It may surprise you that a pineapple core can lead to a pain free life. Many people de-core the pineapple rendering it a sugar snack. The nutrition and healing factors are in the center & stem. I discovered this amazing enzyme called "Bromelain" by accident years ago. The core of the pinapple has helped to reduce back pain inflammation, neck, knee and ankle inflammatory moments that used to slow me down. 

STUDIES RELATED TO BROMELAIN:
   
Over the past seven years, several human clinical studies reveal that bromelain-based formulations are as effective and potentially even more effective than anti-inflammatory prescription drugs in relieving pain and inflammation. Athletes are increasingly turning to bromelain to help
manage sports injuries, and those undergoing surgery are using it to speed their recovery time. Bromelain also holds further promise in managing varied conditions such as sinusitis and inflammatory bowel disease. 

In a recent blinded study from Germany, researchers divided 90 patients with painful osteoarthritis of the hip into two groups: one half receiving an oral enzyme preparation containing bromelain for six weeks, while the other half received the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (sold under the brand name Voltaren® and generic names). They found that the bromelain preparation was as effective as diclofenac in standard scales of pain, stiffness and physical function, and better tolerated than the drug comparator. The researchers concluded, “[the bromelain preparation] may well be recommended for the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis of the hip with signs of inflammation as indicated

 

• Historically, natives of Central and South America used pineapple for a variety of ailments, such as digestive disorders.

• Currently, bromelain is used as a dietary supplement for nasal swelling and inflammation, osteoarthritis, cancer, poor digestion, and muscle soreness. Topical (applied to the skin) bromelain is used for wounds and burns.

• Bromelain is obtained from the stem or fruit of the pineapple. It is sold in the form of a powder, cream, tablet, or capsule, and it may be used alone or in combination with other ingredients.
  
  After reviewing many studies related to the implementation of bromelain the meta analysis of multiple studies suggested the investigators (scientists) determined bromelain to be an effective and safe alternative to NSAIDs such as diclofenac for painful osteoarthritis. either 200 mg or 400 mg a day in volunteers with mild acute knee pain.that overall psychological well-being was significantly improved in both bromelain groups, leading to their conclusion that this natural therapy may be effective in improving general well-being as well as symptoms in otherwise healthy adults suffering from mild knee pain.
