These two enzymes (bromelain - derived from pineapples; and papain - derives from the papaya fruit) help increase/promote digestion of protein, and help protect against disease. Bromelain is anti-inflammatory, pain reducing, and has wound healing effects (ie helps heal burns when applied topically). Papain is also a powerful digestive enzyme. It helps to protect against heart disease, supports the immune system, promotes healthy eyes, and fights bacteria and reduces inflammation. Their high phytonutrient properties help to kill worms and parasites, and to maintain healthy gut microbiome by blocking the growth of harmful gut bacteria. Papain also helps to lower oxidative stress, protect the brain, reduce pain and muscle soreness, and speed up would healing. 100 capsules.
