I had not heard of Bromelain until today when I was searching online for something to help with multiple (and annoying) eye floaters. Found a small study (388 people) that responded very well to actual daily pineapple slices with the core. They explained about the effect of Bromelain on inflammation. I follow a keto lifestyle (3 years so far) and therefore cannot eat pineapple. Started looking at supplements and found the vast majority of them also contain maltodextrin, which is basically a sugar. Then I checked out VitaMedica, and was really excited to see natural ingredients, no malto, plus read all the great reviews and saw responses from customer service. I'm 65 and in good health, but do suffer from osteoarthritis (plus I'm considering a mini face lift!) so apparently this is what I need to be taking for all kinds of reasons! Can't wait to try it!
