Natural Factors Bromelain
Natural Factors Bromelain capsules contain 500 mg of this proteolytic enzyme isolated form the stem of the pineapple plant.
Bromelain aids digestion by breaking down protein, and improves nutrient absorption. Bromelain is a good substitute for the enzymes pepsin and trypsin.
Besides being used as a protein digestive aid, the enzymes in bromelain inhibit inflammatory chemicals called prostaglandins. The anti-inflammatory effect has been studied for its effectiveness in inflammatory conditions like arthritis and sinusitis.
What does GDU & MCU mean?
GDU (gelatin digesting unit) and MCU (milk clotting units) are two standard ways to measure enzyme activity. The measurement of activity is based on how much one gram of the enzyme will digest. Usually the two measurements are in a 2:3 ratio. The higher the number of GDU's and MCU's, the greater the enzyme activity of the product.
| Each capsule contains: | |
| Bromelain (Ananas comosus) (stem) | 500 mg |
Each gram of Extra Strength Bromelain contains 1000 GDU (Gelatin Digesting Units) equivalent to 1500 MCU (Milk Clotting Units) of enzyme activity.
