Why Do Athletes Use It?*

Some athletes say that bromelain helps to reduce pain associated with sports injuries, such as sprains and strains.

What Do the Advocates Say?*

Bromelain is most effective for injuries in which there is a congestion of blood or heavy bruising. Because it is a protein digestive agent, bromelain digests trapped blood byproducts. It is more effective for sprains and strains than it is for joint pain.

When using bromelain, continue to take it until the swelling and blood stagnation is gone; this can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
