Source Naturals Bromelain 500mg Proteolytic Enzyme Supplement - 60 Tablets

I'm not quite sure how this worked for me. I used it post-septoplasty to help with swelling. It's difficult to say what helped and what didn't because I did SO much to help with the swelling post-surgery. I think what helped me the most was sleeping upright, drinking a ton of water, light movement, and a very low-salt diet. These things, combined with the supplements, helped my horrendous swelling subside within 2 weeks. In retrospect, I wish I had started taking the supplements prior to the surgery, so if you are going to use this to help with post-surgery inflammation, I highly recommend talking to your doctor to see if it's ok to start before the procedure.In terms of the pill itself - it's a one time daily, which is nice when you've got 10 other things to take! Cons are that you have to take it 45 minutes before a meal, or around 2-3 hours after a meal. This can be difficult and I find it's best to take it when I first wake up. I do generally experience nausea when taking pills on an empty stomach, but this pill does not give me any tummy aches. Finally, the pill is HUGE! I don't have a problem with taking pills generally, but I seriously have to give this one 2-3 tries to get it down with water every day! Crazy!

I am a retired pharmacist, having worked in the pharmaceutical industry. My approach to personal heath has been to follow the preventative route i.e. be proactive. A goal has been to ensure that all the systems of the body are maintained in a good condition as I age. “You want to AVOID taking the car (the body) to the garage (meaning a Doctor) for repairs”. My interest has always been to seek Nutritional supplements of very good quality, in terms of benefits and well as the quality of manufacture, with preference for Vegetarian products. Nutritional supplements are not as well-regulated, (or minimally regulated) as Prescription Drugs. Nutritional Supplements usually carry a label like… ‘These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA…..’ meaning they have not passed the rigor or scrutiny of the FDA. Be careful what you choose.Consequently, I take several carefully selected supplements daily as a part of the approach to maintaining good health. This product is a part of the ‘Pill Box of Supplements’. I am very satisfied with this approach and it has helped me significantly. Best wishes to the reader for long life and good health.

Somnapure is the best sleep aid I have ever come across. When I go to bed my neuropathy is burning so badly it is hard for me to fall asleep. I use Ambien which puts me to sleep but the pain breaks through and I wake back up. I took a chance and took them up on their offer and got a free bottle of Somnapure PM. It worked well but when I went to buy it the price of $42.00 scared me away. I noticed there was Somnapure without the Pm for as low as $11.88. I called the company to find out the difference and they said the PM meant Pain Management. On closer scrutiny I realized that the only difference between Somnapure PM and Somnapure was that the PM version had Bromelain in it. So without the Bromelain it was $11.88 and with the Bromalein it was $42.00. A bottle of Bromelain was $4.82 so I bought the Somnapure for $11.88 and the Bromelain for $4.82 a no brainer. You can also take the Somapure and eat a piece of pineapple and you have the same thing. Somnapure works very well for sleep and if Amazon doesn't get better pricing you can get it at Wal Marts for $11.88. But it works Give it a try......................

I bought this because I read it could be used as a substitute for NSAID's, so I just had it in the house in case of head ache or muscle/joint pain. I took it one night when I had eaten some things I normally don't in a desperate attempt to try to avoid the middle of the night leg cramps which would normally follow after eating those things. Miracle of miracles: I didn't get any leg cramps that night. This told me two things: That those particular foods were causing me inflammation, and that this significantly decreased that inflammation. I'm very impressed. Since I know that most disease is caused by inflammation, I'm now, I'm taking this regularly.

Bromelain does seem to improve my nose function a bit.

I use this to alleviate plugged ducts (from breastfeeding). I had to use antibiotics twice to treat mastitis and when i felt it coming on again, I was desperate to find a natural cure so I don't have to keep running to the doc and swallowing antibiotics. An herbalist recommended this to me and it works. I've used it when I felt plugged ducts / mastitis coming on and it alleviates it within a few hours! I can't figure out if it's a placebo or not but it works. Here is my process when I have plugged duct: drink LOTs of water and tea, massage and apply hot compress to the affected area, take two pills of bromelain and some vitamin C, go to sleep early. I'm usually fine by morning.

I swear some of these reviews are fake on here. Listen about this s***. Take on empty stomach it will help your crap better. Also I'm into bodybuilding and it helps to reduce muscle soreness. I have prostate inflammation and also helps with that. Some of these reviews are so stupid. How are you going to rate a product and when you haven't tried it just because it arrives in the mail. So frustrating. Anyway this works if you have inflammation and it doesn't whole host of other things. I noticed the potency does very sometimes. You may have to take more from certain bottles and others

This product did prove to show a significant impact on my joint pain, however I personally had to discontinue use because it caused nausea. This is one of the side effects of this particular supplement. This may not happen in all cases but I did experience it to such a degree I couldn't continue using it. Otherwise I would have kept using it. I was very pleased with the results.
