Bromelain 500mg 2400 GDU/g by NOW is a dietary supplement featuring bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple stems, known for its ability to support digestion and reduce inflammation. The product contains rice flour as an active ingredient, which serves as a filler, while inactive ingredients like silicon dioxide, hypromellose (cellulose capsule), and magnesium stearate (vegetable source) ensure product stability and capsule integrity.

Bromelain works by breaking down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, aiding the digestive process and promoting nutrient absorption. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it popular for supporting joint health, reducing swelling, and enhancing recovery after exercise or injury. The combination of bromelain with the inert fillers and capsule materials ensures a consistent and effective delivery of the enzyme.

People commonly use Bromelain 500mg 2400 GDU/g to support digestive health, alleviate symptoms of inflammation, and improve overall wellness. It is often chosen by those seeking natural alternatives for managing discomfort related to arthritis, sinusitis, or muscle soreness. The supplement is suitable for vegetarians due to its plant-based capsule and ingredients.

While generally safe for most users, individuals with allergies to pineapple or those on blood-thinning medications should consult a healthcare professional before use. This product is designed to be a convenient and reliable source of bromelain, supporting a healthy lifestyle through natural enzymatic activity.

Ingredients

Active Ingredients

Rice Flour
Gluten-free carbohydrate sourceLow Risk

Rice flour is a gluten-free flour derived from finely milled rice grains, commonly used as an alternative to wheat flour in cooking and baking. It offers health benefits such as supporting blood sugar management, promoting digestive health through resistant starch, and providing essential B vitamins for energy metabolism. While generally safe, it should be consumed in moderation, especially by those with digestive sensitivities or gluten allergies, and care should be taken to avoid cross-contamination.

Inactive Ingredients

Hypromellose (cellulose capsule)
Capsule material, Soluble fiber, EmulsifierLow Risk

Hypromellose is a plant-based cellulose derivative used primarily as a vegetarian alternative to gelatin in capsules. It acts as a thickening and emulsifying agent, promoting controlled nutrient release and supporting digestive health by functioning as a soluble fiber. Generally safe with a low risk profile, it may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some and should be used cautiously with certain medications.

Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source)
Mineral supplement, LubricantLow Risk

Magnesium Stearate (vegetable source) is a compound derived from magnesium and stearic acid from plant oils, widely used as a lubricant in supplement and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It serves as a source of magnesium, essential for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, supporting muscle function, cardiovascular health, energy production, and mental well-being. While generally safe, it may cause mild gastrointestinal issues and interact with certain medications, so usage should be monitored.

Silicon Dioxide
Mineral, Structural SupportLow Risk

Silicon dioxide, or silica, is a natural mineral essential for collagen synthesis, bone mineralization, and connective tissue health. It supports bone density, skin elasticity, and detoxification by aiding in the removal of heavy metals. Generally safe, silica supplementation should be approached with caution to avoid gastrointestinal issues and interactions with other minerals or medications.
