Nature's Life Bromelain & Papain from Pineapple and Papaya - Digestive Enzymes for Women and Men - Protein Digestion, Digestive Health, Gut Health Support - Vegan, 60-Day Guarantee - 100 Servings

Because I was suffering from poor digestion I started taking the proteolytic enzymes Bromelain & Papain. If you have poor digestion, you know the symptoms. The number one symptom is belly bloating after eating a meal. No matter how small the meal, the stomach still bloats. A year or so ago I tried Bromelain and Papain but stopped because it wasn’t doing anything. I was taking them in accordance with the bottle’s instructions, 1 with meals. Actually, the front of the bottle said 1 per day. That was my mistake. I needed to take much more than that. This go round (beginning November 20, 2015) I started out with taking 2 or 3 capsules with meals. Then I read that taking them on an empty stomach does great things for the body so I began taking them on an empty stomach and with meals. I had grown extremely tired of swelling up like a blowfish when eating the smallest of meals. I’d swell so much that I’d have to take shallow breaths until the swelling went down. Here’s what happened. My stomach bloat per meal began to diminish. It’s been a few weeks now and no more belly bloat. By taking them on an empty stomach upon waking and between meals I’ve found that other things have improved. Weirdest of all is my vision. Yep, I said vision. I’m absolutely amazed at how much clearer things appear. Although I still use reading glasses, I use them less frequently. I attribute the change in my vision to the proteolytic enzymes Bromelain & Papain. A quote from JonBarron.org article regarding proteolytic enzymes: “When you take a proteolytic enzyme formula between meals, the enzymes do not get stuck working in your stomach or wrapped up with your food and passed out through the colon. Instead, they quickly enter your bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, they help optimize your blood, plus they make their way to all of the tissues throughout your body, where they assist with intelligent, adaptive healing.” Bromelain & Papain help to digest protein when taken with a meal. Taken outside of a meal they are absorbed into the body and begin digesting foreign proteins that otherwise would cause harm to the body. Another quote from the very same article: “Bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and fungi are all protected by proteins. Attacking those proteins is key to destroying the invaders. Food allergens are almost all proteins. Cancer cells are protected by proteins. Proteolytic enzymes have the ability to digest and destroy the protein based defense shield of each and every pathogen, allergen, and rogue cell, thereby leading to their ultimate elimination” Bromelain (pineapple enzymes) and Papain (papaya enzymes) are naturally occurring enzymes. Overdosing on them is nearly impossible. All I know is Nature's Life Bromelain & Papain have been working extremely well for me. Do your own research regarding the benefits of proteolytic enzymes.

We eat a lot of beef, chicken, and pork for dinner at our house and as I've gotten older I've found its become more difficult to stay regular on that diet without some assistance. I didn't want to stop eating steak and I also didn't want to have to rely on laxatives since that could lead to becoming dependent on them (not a good idea). As an RN I've known about the digestive benefits of eating a pineapple slice after heavy meals, but pineapples are expensive, don't keep well, and are very acidic, so it wasn't the ideal solution for me. On the other hand, Bromelain is an enzyme derived from the stems of pineapples that helps your digestive health by breaking down proteins from the food you've eaten and helping your body to metabolize them as needed and flush any excess amounts from your system which in turn promotes better regularity and colon well being. It is also said, but not completely proven yet that Bromelain also helps prevent wrinkles by breaking down the cross-linked proteins in collagen that cause wrinkles, and also has anti-inflammatory properties which can help provide relief for inflammation due to arthritis. Papain is an enzyme from the fruit of the papaya tree that also helps to break down proteins and thus aid digestive health. It is also medically used as an anti-inflammatory and to prevent fluid retention (amongst other uses). Used together in capsule form is beneficial for my digestive health and has greatly improved my regularity already. I take one capsule following a meal. Follow manufacturer's dosage guidelines. Taking too many may lead to an upset stomach or diarrhea. Disclaimer: Always consult with your doctor before using these or any supplements to treat a medical condition.

I purchased these digestive enzymes on Amazon, and I’m very satisfied with the results. They help break down food more efficiently, reducing bloating and discomfort after meals. After taking them for a few days, I noticed an improvement in digestion and overall gut health. They are easy to swallow and don’t cause any side effects. I highly recommend these enzymes for anyone struggling with digestion issues! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I bought these to help with health issues and I thought they were working for inflammation in my body. The bottle says to take one a day but many of the reviews said to take more because one a day was ineffective and I needed relief. I took 2 in the morning and 2 at night. I was amazed at the relief within a few days. However about 5 days in I reacted and woke up in the morning with 6 canker sores in various sizes all very painful. I stopped the supplement, they healed right up and went away. I tried the supplement again and this time only took the one, two mornings later another canker sore appeared. I can't take this supplement any more. Not even one a day. It must be the bromalain. Regardless, I had high hopes, but I am prone to canker sores anyway and this was a massive trigger. I can't recall ever having 6 at once. It wasn't good for me. I wish i could go back and try just one a day and see if I would have been OK but I just can't now. So if you buy these, follow the directions and not the advice of the reviewers.

Great product that help a lot with my digestive problems. I really recommend.

I don't understand why these have the STRONGEST smell I've ever smelled from a pill, but it's tolerable to smell if you try to ignore it. These work pretty well for an injury that has a long healing time I sustained with a considerable amount of bruising. My healing time has been cut down by maybe a few weeks. They don't interact with any medicine (supplements or prescribed) I currently take. They're pretty awesome despite the smell.
