Description
Specially-Coated Bromelain - 60 Enteric Coated Tablets from Life Extension® is a supplement that balances inflammatory processes in the body. This formula contains bromelain‚ a protease enzyme extracted from the stem of the pineapple plant.
Studies reveal that inflammation is the protective reaction of the body to harmful stimuli such as irritants and foreign organisms. Cytokines and neutrophils are some of the pro- inflammatory cells. Bromelain present in this supplement from Life Extension® appears to decrease the numbers of cytokines and also the movement of neutrophils towards inflamed tissues.
In addition bromelain may also maintain the fluidity of blood and prevent platelets from sticking to each other. Many people believe that it could decrease pain and swelling after surgery. It could potentially reduce congestion of sinuses.
This supplement contains enteric coated bromelain to prevent its activity as an enzyme in the stomach. Switch to Specially-Coated Bromelain - 60 Enteric Coated Tablets from Life Extension® and restore balance of the inflammatory process in your body.
