Maintaining a Healthy Digestion

Even if you don't know bromelain and papain by name, you have probably used them at some point for medicinal purposes. Bromelain, derived from pineapple, and papain, derived from papaya, are both protease enzymes, meaning that they digest and tenderise protein. This makes them popular choices as ingredients in meat tenderisers. It is because of the healing properties of bromelain and papain that meat tenderiser has become a popular home remedy for insect bites, jellyfish stings, burns, and minor wounds.

Additionally, because they are both powerful digestive enzymes, bromelain and papain are useful in treating common stomach ailments, including bloating, constipation, indigestion, and irritable bowel syndrome. They act directly to help the body digest protein, and their anti-inflammatory properties may decrease inflammation in the colon.

Because of this, bromelain and papain preparations may be especially useful for people with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, or ulcers
