Proteolytic enzyme potency can be denoted by using various activity units like FCC Papain units (PU), Gelatin Digestion Units (GDU), or Bromelain Tyrosine Units (BTU). Regardless of how the label reads, make sure when comparing products, that the units are the same so that you are comparing correctly what the actual “concentration” or “activity” of the enzyme is being used in the product. It is not enough to simply look at how much (milligrams or grams) of an enzyme is in a serving. To accurately compare how much active bromelain enzyme is in a serving, always refer to the GDU or PU units. Our Bromelain Plus contains 0.544 grams of bromelain, which is equal to 1296 GDUs or 19,440,000 FCC PU per daily serving. Bromelain Plus is not only isotonic, but it also contains another protease enzyme, which provides for even greater activity and a more potent, effective product.

Bromelain is found in every part of the pineapple, although it is most plentiful in the stem. Most commercially-grown pineapple is sliced, canned or juiced. The remains are rich with this substance, which is then extracted. Originally used as a meat tenderizer because of its ability to break down proteins, research now shows that powdered bromelain promotes health.
