Vitabay® Bromelain

Bromelain

Promotes good digestion, relieves swelling and inflammation

Bromelain by Vitabay is a dietary supplement designed to enhance natural digestive processes and create a feeling of lightness after meals. The formula uses a pure and active form of bromelain, extracted from pineapple, which is known for its ability to support not only digestion, but also overall body health.

• Supports the normal breakdown of dietary proteins in the digestive tract

• Facilitates the process of amino acid absorption by the body

• Supports the normal function of digestive enzymes

• Reduces the risk of bloating and gas formation after consuming protein-rich foods

• Contributes to maintaining the immune system through enzymatic purification of the body

• Has a natural anti-inflammatory effect in tissues and joints

• Promotes faster recovery after physical exertion

• Maintains the normal consistency of secretions in the respiratory system.

What is bromelain and how does it work?

Bromelain is an enzyme complex extracted primarily from the stem of the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus), containing proteolytic enzymes that break down proteins. Unlike other enzymes that only work in acidic or alkaline environments, bromelain retains its activity over a wide range of pH values, allowing it to work in different parts of the digestive tract.

It contains a combination of different enzymes, among which the main role is played by sulfhydryl proteases - a specific class of enzymes that break down peptide bonds between amino acids. They do this naturally, without damaging the intestinal microflora or negatively affecting the intestinal mucosa. In addition to its main digestive properties, bromelain also contains compounds with a weak antioxidant effect and helps break down unnecessary protein deposits in tissues. This makes it suitable not only as a digestive enzyme, but also as a systemic support for the body.

What are the benefits of using

• Improves protein metabolism

Bromelain acts as a natural enzyme that breaks down complex protein molecules into simpler peptides and amino acids. This facilitates their absorption by the body in the early stages of the digestive process. In people with a deficiency of stomach enzymes or reduced acidity, bromelain compensates for the deficiencies and supports the efficient digestion of protein foods, such as meat, eggs and dairy products.

• Reduces digestive discomfort

Incompletely digested proteins often pass into the large intestine, where they are fermented by bacteria, a process that leads to gas and bloating. Bromelain interferes with this process by breaking down proteins more quickly and preventing them from remaining in the digestive system. This results in a lighter and more comfortable feeling after eating, especially after consuming heavy foods.

• Helps absorb nutrients

By improving digestion, bromelain ensures better release and absorption of vital nutrients – amino acids, vitamins and minerals. This is key to maintaining overall health, including muscle mass, immunity, enzyme and hormone production. With efficient digestion and absorption, every bite of food works for the body, instead of being wasted undigested.

• Has an anti-inflammatory effect

Bromelain inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators in the body – such as prostaglandins and bradykinins – which are involved in the development of chronic inflammation. This makes it effective both in internal inflammatory conditions (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome) and in joint and muscle complaints. The anti-inflammatory effect is systemic – without the side effects of synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs.

• Supports recovery after physical exertion

During exercise or injury, waste metabolites and inflammatory substances accumulate in the muscles. Bromelain accelerates their breakdown and elimination, thus shortening recovery time and relieving pain and stiffness. This makes it an excellent supplement for active athletes or people who work physically and are looking for natural help for faster recovery.

• Supports the immune system

Bromelain is involved in the regulation of immune function by activating macrophages and NK cells (natural killer cells), which destroy pathogenic cells. It acts by breaking down unnecessary immune complexes and foreign proteins in the blood, which helps to "clean up" the immune system. This is especially important in autoimmune reactions and chronic inflammatory conditions.
