Why buy Bromelain 500mg in HSN?

The bromelain content of a product does not, a priori, indicate anything about its quality.

Many companies market food supplements with large amounts of this enzyme, but do not declare its activity in GDU.

What is a GDU?

A GDU is a measure of gelatin (a protein) dissolution upon exposure to one gram of bromelain; the higher this value, more potency the food supplement possesses.

Why is bromelain by HSN different?

For comparison:

Bromelain of excellent quality, with low degradation rates and high extraction is typically 2400GDU/g.

We go further!

Enzyme activity can be determined in many units of measurement, in HSN we provide you with all the information, as no one else does, so that you have all the tools available to compare:

2500 GDU/g = 5000 FIP/g = 37500000 FCC PU/g = 1560 CDU/mg.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans

Bromelain is a pineapple extract, so it is of plant origin. However, there is one thing to bear in mind:

Most capsules produced by other food supplement companies are made from animal gelatine, altering the plant origin of the products.

In HSN we use vegetable capsules, and it is a food supplement suitable for vegan diets.

Which products combine Bromelain 500mg with?
