Yamamoto® Research Bromelain is a supplement formulated with 1000 mg of bromelain with an activity of 5000 GDU per daily dose to promote digestive function, drainage of body fluids and microcirculatory function, counteracting imperfections due to water retention and relieving the feeling of heavy legs. Bromelain is an enzyme extracted from the stem of the pineapple plant: it possesses so-called proteolytic activity, i.e. it is able to break peptide bonds between proteins. Thanks to this characteristic, bromelain is able to break down the complex structure of proteins, so that the body can digest them and absorb nutrients, eliminating unnecessary parts. Combined with a high-protein meal, such as meat, bromelain can greatly improve digestion.

Bromelain is often suggested and used with satisfactory results, especially by women, to combat water retention and swelling of the lower limbs. Bromelain has draining and anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce signs of edema, water retention and cellulite, as well as improve the function of the microcirculation. This enzyme is able to perform its function by acting on fluid accumulation and, although it is little known, it is inflammation that is mainly responsible for the formation of water retention, through a series of self-feeding mechanisms. In fact, if we are inflamed, it is easier to develop disorders such as oedema or cellulite, which in turn promote pro-inflammatory symptoms. We thus enter a vicious circle from which it is difficult to escape.

**How does bromelain reduce inflammation?

Bromelain is able to promote the production of a number of powerful anti-inflammatory substances called chitokines, as well as stimulating protein digestion.

**What are the real health benefits of bromelain?

Bromelain also reduces swelling of the lower limbs, drains fluids, reduces pain caused by wounds or injuries, treats dysmenorrhoea, is effective against thrombophlebitis, is a good mucolytic and decongestant, and also appears to potentiate the effect of some antibiotics and drugs.

Frequent doubts

**Does Bromelain help with weight loss?

Although Bromelain does not directly make you lose weight, it does help keep swelling under control and reduce inflammation. It is therefore an excellent ally during the slimming process because it improves microcirculation and reduces signs of cellulite and water retention.

**How long does it take to see results from taking Bromelain?

The time it takes to see results from taking Yamamoto Research Bromelain may vary from person to person and depends on several factors, such as age, general health, lifestyle and diet.

In general, studies have indicated that taking Bromelain can improve digestion, have positive effects on body fluid drainage and microcirculation function from the first few weeks of regular use. However, to get the maximum benefits from taking Yamamoto Research Bromelain, it is advisable to take the product for a continuous period of at least 2-3 months.

**Can I take Bromelain if I am already taking Diuricell?

Bromelain is an enzyme that can help reduce bloating, improve digestion and promote the drainage of body fluids. Diuricell®, on the other hand, is an herbal supplement that contains several ingredients known to have diuretic properties and promote the elimination of excess fluid.

The simultaneous intake of Yamamoto Research Bromelain and Diuricell® could potentially increase the diuretic effect, so it is important to ensure that you drink enough water to maintain adequate hydration.
