Bromelain
Bromelain- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about GNC NATURAL BRAND Natural Brand™ Bromelain:
I'm buying this because I recently started eating a high-protein diet and my stomach has been having a lot of difficulty adjusting. It took me a week or so to figure out that it was my high protein intake that was causing the nausea and discomfort, and learned that bromelain is supposed to help the stomach break down protein so it can digest the larger amount easier and help adjust to a new diet.
