Bromelain

Compare every Bromelain product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.

Enzyme from pineapple with anti-inflammatory and digestive properties

We rank Bromelain by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Bromelain is a mixture of enzymes, which are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in the body. It is extracted specifically from pineapples.

Why it's used

It is primarily used for two reasons:

How it's made

To make the supplement, manufacturers extract the enzymes from the pineapple plant, often using the stem or the fruit. This extract is then processed and dried into a concentrated powder, which is then put into capsules or tablets.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is considered mid-range in price. This is because the extraction process from the raw plant material is more involved than simple mineral sourcing, but there is enough global supply of pineapples to keep costs from becoming premium.
