Frequently Asked Questions

What is GDU/g and why does it matter for bromelain?

GDU (Gelatin Digesting Units) per gram is a measurement of bromelain's enzymatic activity — specifically its ability to break down proteins. A higher GDU value means greater enzymatic potency. NOW Bromelain at 2400 GDU/g is a high-activity formula, providing effective protein-digesting support per capsule.

Should I take bromelain with or without food?

The timing depends on your goal. Taken with meals, bromelain acts as a digestive enzyme to help break down dietary proteins. Taken between meals on an empty stomach, it may support joint comfort and help relieve temporary muscle soreness associated with overexertion.

Can bromelain interact with medications?

Bromelain may interact with blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants) and some antibiotics. If you are taking any prescription medications, consult your healthcare professional before using bromelain supplements.

Is NOW Bromelain suitable for vegans?

Yes, NOW Bromelain 500mg is formulated in vegetarian capsules and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is derived from pineapple stem, a plant source, and is produced without common animal-derived ingredients under strict GMP quality standards.
