Bromelain 500mg

Quality vegetal bromelain

Bromelain 500mg de EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement in plant-based capsules made with bromelain from pineapple, with calcium and selenium. Bromelain is a type of enzyme.

In a bromelain formula it’s not only about the amount: knowing its units helps to better assess and compare the raw material.

That’s why we use bromelain standardized at 2,500 GDU/g. The GDU units indicate its activity on a protein substrate under controlled lab conditions. The clearer this information, the easier it is to know the quality of the ingredient we’re choosing.

Equivalents at 2,500 GDU in other methods that may also be known are: 5,000 FIP/g, 37,500,000 FCC PU/g and 1,560 CDU/mg.

A varied, practical formula with a clean label

The bromelain in our product is paired with calcium and selenium, two minerals chosen to complete the formula simply. This brings together a standardized concentration enzyme and micronutrients known in a single dietary supplement.

We used a plant capsule to keep the formula vegan. Also, it does not contain common allergens, preservatives, or artificial colorants.

It’s especially recommended for people looking to incorporate a plant enzyme into their routine and who value supplements with clearly stated information and a quality composition that’s easy to understand.

How to integrate it and combine it into your routine

Its capsule format lets you use it without blends or preparations. Just follow the directions on the label and wash it down with water. You can add it to your daily routine alongside a varied and balanced diet.

If you want to gather different enzymes in your supplement selection, you can combine it with DigeZyme® 200mg, a complex of amylase, protease, lactase, lipase and cellulase, with calcium. Another option is to pair it with L-Glutamine Powder, especially if you already use glutamine in your routine.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is bromelain?

It’s the name given to a set of enzymes derived from pineapple Ananas comosus. Biologically, they are proteolytic enzymes because their activity is analyzed using proteins as substrate.

What does it mean that it is standardized to 2,500 GDU/g?

It means the raw material offers a defined and verifiable enzymatic activity. GDU are a unit used to measure bromelain activity on a protein substrate under laboratory conditions.

Why do we use different units: FIP, FCC PU, and CDU?

They’re other systems used to express enzyme activity. We include their equivalents to offer more complete information and make it easier to compare with other formulas.

Is it suitable for vegans?

Yes. Both the bromelain and the capsule are of plant origin, so the product is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.

How should I incorporate it into my daily routine?

You can conveniently include it in your routine following the mode of use on the labeling. It doesn’t require preparation nor necessarily needs to be mixed with other foods.

2,500 GDU/g, vegetal origin and a careful formula

At HSN we combine pineapple bromelain with a high standardized concentration, calcium and selenium. All in a plant capsule and with a clean label formulation designed for those who want to choose their dietary supplements with clear information and no unnecessary ingredients.
