Bromelain 500mg 60 caps by Metabolic Maintenance

Enzymes are proteins that quicken the rate at which chemical reactions occur within your body. Without enzymes‚ your food would be digested very slowly; this means that your muscles‚ bones‚ and nerves would fail to work properly. Many of the enzymes present in your body are contained within your digestive system. Here‚ different enzymes work to break down different food groups. The enzyme pepsin‚ for example‚ breaks down protein-rich foods‚ while the enzyme lipase breaks down fatty foods.

While enzymes are made by your body‚ they're also found in food. Bromelain‚ which contains a range of enzymes that break down proteins‚ is present in small doses in the stem and juice of pineapples. Since it’s nearly impossible to take in enough bromelain through your diet‚ this enzyme is available in the form of a supplement.
