Bromelain is a natural enzyme complex derived from pineapple. This supplement from LUTO Supplements provides 750 mg of bromelain per capsule, with an enzymatic activity of 4500 F.I.P. The capsules are sustained-release, meaning they gradually release their contents. They are vegan, and with 180 capsules, taking one per day, you have a good supply.
Bromelain is not a single enzyme, but a mixture of proteolytic enzymes naturally present in pineapple. The stem of the plant is the richest source, and this is where it is extracted for supplements. Fresh pineapple also contains it, but at a much lower concentration than a capsule. You would have to eat a lot to approach the dose of a supplement. After extraction, a concentrated and standardized powder remains, which is then packaged into capsules. Thanks to this standardization, each capsule contains the same enzymatic activity, batch after batch.
Bromelain is one of the proteases, enzymes capable of breaking down proteins. Mechanically, it is a cysteine protease: at the heart of the enzyme is a sulfur-containing amino acid that acts like a pair of scissors. It recognizes a protein chain and breaks the peptide bonds, which connect the amino acids. In simple terms: it breaks down large proteins into smaller fragments. The speed of this process depends on acidity and temperature. As for what this means for you, we deliberately make no claims, as there are currently no authorized claims for bromelain in the EU database.
The strength of bromelain is not determined by the number of milligrams, but by its enzymatic activity. This is expressed in F.I.P. units or GDU. Both measure the amount of protein the enzyme can cleave per unit of time, but using a different test method. This product displays 4500 F.I.P. per capsule, which corresponds to approximately 2500 GDU per gram. This places it above entry-level products around 2000 F.I.P. and below the extra-strong variants of 7500 F.I.P. Please note: F.I.P. and GDU are not exactly interconvertible, so consider such a comparison as an approximation. However, this is the figure to watch when comparing products, as two capsules containing the same number of milligrams can differ greatly in activity. We therefore always state it in full.
Bromelain is a protein, and proteins have a hard time in the acidic environment of the stomach. That's why this bromelain comes in a sustained-release capsule: it doesn't release its contents all at once, but gradually. This way, the enzyme reaches further into your system more protected and more regularly, and only one capsule per day is needed. The capsule itself is plant-based and acid-resistant. Many competitors are vague about how their capsules work; here, you know.
Bromelain from pineapple is one of those ingredients where the units on the label say more than the milligrams. With this product, you know exactly what you're getting: 750 mg, 4500 F.I.P., sustained-release, and 180 capsules in the jar.
Strength lies in enzymatic activity. 4500 F.I.P. is above many standard bromelain products around 2000 F.I.P.
The capsule releases its contents gradually rather than all at once. One capsule per day is sufficient.
With one capsule per day, this is a six-month supply. This avoids reordering and reduces the price per dose.
Vegetable capsule without unnecessary additives, manufactured in Germany.

Bromelain is a natural enzyme complex derived from pineapple. It is mainly extracted from the stem, as this is where the concentration is highest. In this product, it is processed into a standardized powder packaged in capsules.
They are both units of enzyme activity: the amount of protein the enzyme can cleave. They just use a different testing method, so they cannot be exactly converted from one to the other. 4500 F.I.P. roughly corresponds to 2500 GDU per gram.
This number indicates the enzymatic activity per capsule; the higher the number, the more active the enzyme. 2000 F.I.P. is an entry-level strength and 7500 F.I.P. is an extra-strong variant. At 4500 F.I.P., this product falls in the middle.
An enzyme is sensitive to gastric acid. That's why this bromelain comes in an extended-release capsule that releases its contents gradually and in a more protected way. We make no claims about exact absorption percentages, as these depend on many factors.
Bromelain is a protease, an enzyme that breaks down proteins. It cleaves the peptide bonds between amino acids, breaking down large proteins into smaller fragments. The speed of this process depends on acidity and temperature.
This is a single-ingredient product containing only bromelain from pineapple, without added enzymes like papain. You can therefore honestly compare its enzyme activity with other bromelain-only products.
