Bromelain and Papain Assist Exercise Recovery

Bromelain and papain¹ are natural sources of protease enzymes, a unique enzyme that helps “digest” non needed protein structures, such as inflamed tissue and scar tissue.  A new study evaluated their usefulness to prevent excessive muscle damage from exercise and to reduce inflammation.

The researchers found that these nutrients significantly enhanced muscle performance while reducing inflammatory makers like COX2 and IL6. 

Your body makes these protease enzymes for its natural housecleaning operations.  Unfortunately, the ability to make protease enzymes declines with age.  Additionally, you could have an accident or injury and really need a lot of them.  I suggest taking these nutrients to help your fitness conditioning and help prevent developing an “itis” in the process of trying to improve your health.
