What Is Bromelain Powder?
Bromelain is a natural enzyme complex that is extracted from the stem, fruit, and juice of the pineapple plant. It is a powerful enzyme for digesting proteins and has high bioavailability.
Bromelain can break down complex proteins into small peptides and amino acids that are more easily absorbed by the human body. Besides digestive applications, Bromelain also participates in specific immune and circulatory processes. It helps regulate natural inflammatory pathways in the human body and supports tissue recovery.
Bromelain powder is widely applied in supplements, skincare products, and the food industry.

Bromelain powder should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (UV light). It should be sealed every time after using it to prevent caking caused by absorbing moisture. If you need to store it for the long term, we highly recommend preserving it in a refrigerator at a temperature below 8°C for high bioactivity.
Under the proper storage conditions, the shelf life is up to 12 months.
Sunjoy bromelain powder is soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol, chloroform, and ether. The water solution is a clear to slightly opalescent solution.
