Product education

Specially-Coated Bromelain

Promotes joint health, comfort & more*

Bromelain is a powerful proteolytic enzyme extracted from the pineapple stem that supports joint comfort, function, and healthy inflammatory response. Life Extension’s specially-coated formulation ensures optimal absorption in the small intestine—where it delivers systemic benefits rather than being digested in the stomach.*

Benefits of Specially-Coated Bromelain:*

  • Inhibits inflammation to support joint comfort and flexibility*
  • Helps maintain joint function and mobility*
  • Supports healthy blood viscosity and circulation*

How It Works

This enteric-coated formula allows bromelain to pass through the stomach unactivated, reaching the small intestine for maximum systemic absorption. Once in the bloodstream, bromelain helps inhibit inflammatory cytokines, reduce neutrophil migration, and modulate fluid balance to support joint and tissue health.*

Who It’s For

Specially-Coated Bromelain is ideal for those looking for natural, non-habit-forming joint support. It’s particularly useful for individuals with occasional joint discomfort or those maintaining an active lifestyle.*

Backed by Research

Clinical trials show that enteric-coated bromelain may outperform other methods in maintaining joint function at rest and improving overall well-being. In one study, bromelain provided 41% improvement in resting joint function compared to 23% with other methods.*
