What makes pineapple one of the best natural medicinal products is an extremely high proportion of bromelain. Bromelain is called the miraculous enzyme, consisting of precisely three enzymes that act on the degradation of proteins in the body, so we can say that pineapple is one of the most important allies in the digestion of proteins. Bromelain has some other positive traits: prevents blood clotting and thus improves circulation, lowers blood pressure and contributes to the degradation of deposits on the inner walls of the vessels, alleviates inflammations and relaxes the muscles preventing local muscle spasms (such as the menstrual cramps). Bromelain can be found in capsule form like a diet supplement.
