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.
Our labelling declaration of “2500GDU/g” is the real sign of the quality of the product.
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!
And we present you with a top quality product, with 2500GDU/g, to take advantage of its maximum potency.
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.
Choose quality products with their content and activity clearly declared.
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.

Miracle digestive enzymes.
Helenn schlichting 10/09/2023
Before I started taking bromelain 500 mg and also turmeric with bromelain, I suffered so much with my bad digestion that I had panic attacks before every meal. Thanks to HSN for making such good products that allow us to have a better quality of life. I will continue to take it always.
