What's inside

Each capsule provides 750mg of bromelain extracted from the stems of the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus). The capsule shell is the standard form (gelatine or plant-based depending on batch (confirm on label)). The product contains no added vitamins, minerals or other actives.

Why this combination

Bromelain is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes found in the pineapple plant, with the highest concentration in the stem. As a supplement, bromelain is taken on its own as a single-ingredient capsule for people specifically interested in this enzyme. Bromelain does not have an authorised EU health claim, so we describe it factually.

How to take

Adults and children aged 11 and over: take 1 capsule daily with water, preferably with food. The 30-capsule pack provides a one-month supply. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, take regular medication or have a pineapple or papain allergy, consult your GP or pharmacist before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is bromelain?

Bromelain is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes (enzymes that break down proteins) found naturally in the pineapple plant, with the highest concentration in the stem. As a supplement, bromelain is sold in capsule form, typically at doses between 200mg and 1000mg per capsule. LifeXtra Bromelain provides 750mg per capsule.

Does bromelain have any authorised health claims?

No. Bromelain does not have an authorised EU health claim under the GB Nutrition and Health Claims Register. This means we cannot make specific health claims about what bromelain does in the body. The product is sold as a single-ingredient food supplement for people who want bromelain specifically.

Can I take LifeXtra Bromelain with other supplements?

Yes, generally. Bromelain is a single-ingredient supplement and does not duplicate vitamins or minerals found in other products. Some people pair bromelain with quercetin (for example in our Quercin product, which contains both). If you take a separate bromelain or pineapple extract, the doses will add up.

Is LifeXtra Bromelain suitable for vegetarians?

Bromelain itself is plant-derived from pineapple, so it is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The capsule shell may be gelatine (animal-derived) or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (plant-based). Check the current pack to confirm the shell type for the specific batch you receive.

Are there any contraindications?

Anyone with a known pineapple allergy should not take bromelain. Bromelain may also interact with blood-thinning medications (warfarin, aspirin) and with some antibiotics, so consult your GP if you take regular medication. Avoid use before surgery unless your surgeon advises otherwise.
