Natural Factors Bromelain and Turmeric capsules help inflammatory conditions and enhance digestion naturally while supporting and protecting the liver. This product helps to enhance health in two ways: 1)taken between meals it helps to break down soft plaque in the blood vessels, thins the blood, helps with menstrual problems and works as an antiinflammatory for painful joints. 2) taken with meals it is an excellent digestive aid that helps with bloating, gas and minimizes the feeling of fullness. Turmeric stimulates digestion, supports the liver, and reduces intestinal permeability. Turmeric's active ingredient is curcumin which helps to check inflammation by inhibiting leukotrienes and thromboxanes. Curcumin is also an antioxidant that helps to stabilize membranes that are damaged by inflammation. Bromelain, an enzyme isolated from the stem of the pineapple plant, aids in digestion by breaking down protein, and improves the absorption of turmeric. Bromelain also helps with blood vessel and joint inflammation. Bromelain blocks the body's production of kinins, reducing swelling and promoting healing. Bromelain's most common application is in the treatment of inflammation and soft tissue injuries. It has been shown to speed healing from bruises and hematomas. Treatment with bromelain following blunt injuries to the musculoskeletal system results in a clean reduction in swelling, pain at rest and during movement, and tenderness. Administration of bromelain presurgically can reduce the average number of days for complete disappearance of pain and inflammation.

Great for swollen joints and GOUT!!Nov 14, 2009
By Kelli Heinz-jones
"kheinz"
I recommend this for anyone who has arthritis and gout...since my husband has been taking this 2x's a day he has had only minimal attacks w/ gout. Before he was taking this he was bed ridden from Aug to Jan, within 2 weeks of taking it he felt a difference. I have also made another friend take the pills for her knees. She now says her knees no longer have "butt cheeks" from the swelling.
(husband daily regimen is this medication 2xs a day, alfalfa, folic acid, vitamin c, in addition to his regular prescriptions. It's amazing to see the difference in him,since taking this supplement... he has a life now...)
Give it a try Turmeric is a spice that has other wonderful healing needs and prevention. Bromelain is found in pineapples...

Great stuff!Jun 17, 2011
By Victoria G. I had been having problems with my right wrist from using a computer mouse all day. I got a track-ball mouse, but still had to resort to anti-inflammatory drugs and finally a wrist brace. One day a coworker saw the brace and asked me about it. She told me about turmeric and how she'd used it after an auto accident. I thought, well, I have nothing to lose. I did some research first and found that it has to be combined with bromelain or piperine. I'd used bromelain once before, so when I saw this product, I thought I'd give it a try. Within the first couple of days I ditched the brace. I am still on the first bottle, but I no longer take any anti-inflammatories. I just use the turmeric/bromelain combo and I am good to go. I did run across a couple of potential (minor) side-effects in my research, so I started very slowly with one capsule a day. I am currently using two, and have had no ill effects. This stuff works and I would highly recommend it.

I have had knee pain due to an injury for 5 years. This is a great product to fight inflammation. Thanks to this product, I can finally play tennis again (of course I remain careful and I ice after a game and stretch for a long time after a game). I take about 6 pills a day. No side effect whatsoever.
Natural Factors Tumeric and BromelainMay 17, 2012
By J. Great Product! I have a condition where my body has inflamation almost all the time and I was told about this natural product and to try it so I did and the results are amazing, Needless to say I have recommended it would most certainly would recommend this to people that it could help, all I can say for myself is that it has made a difference.
It Really Works....Seriously!!!Mar 03, 2012
By Delores Harris I had been sprinkling turmeric spice on my food but sometimes forget. Since using this formula from Natural factors my knee doesn't hurt anymore. I take one a day and can't believe how effective it is. Occasionally I forget to take it because I don't have the pain but after a few days my knee reminds me. You will feel the relief in about 15 to 20 minutes and this stuff is a food, not a chemical!! You have to give it a try for your pain or at the very least sprinkle some turmeric in your food!
