Doctor's Best 3000 GDU Bromelain Proteolytic Digestive Enzymes Supplements, Supports Healthy Digestion, Joint Health, Nutrient Absorption, 500 mg,Capsule, 90 Count(Pack of 1)

I have used this product especially for children when they are having dental work completed. The supplements help to reduce swelling when taking it for a few days before dental work that may involve extractions. I use this product to help reduce overall inflammation. It is effective when used daily.

Because nattokinase, serrapeptase, and bromelain don't have any negative side effects for most people, I recommend a very potent dose of all 3 during the first two to four months. Later on, you can drop down to a lower, maintenance dose. Bromelain has more positive research written about it than papain. Nattokinase has more positive research written about it than serrapeptase and bromelain combined. If you can afford only 1 of the 3, then go with nattokinase. Nattokinase is the most certain to fight blood clots and improve circulation. Nattokinase has only positive things written about it. However, there is one negative scientific study on serrapeptase. Serrapeptase was not significantly more effective than placebo in a Japanese study so the Japanese manufacturer of "Dasen" (serrapeptase), Takeda, has pulled this, their profitable brand name drug, off the market. However, thousands of people will testify that serrapeptase has helped them substantially and that they continue to buy it. Bromelain has been used for many years in Germany after surgery with a small but definite benefit. Speaking of surgery, 25% of hip fracture victims die within 12 months after surgery. Many other surgeries have almost as high post-surgery death rates. The most common causes of post-surgery death are blood clots, pneumonia, and infection. Nattokinase, which has no negative side effects, can definitely be used in place of aspirin, Lovenox, or other prescription blood thinners. Serrapeptase has been described as "the most powerful" of the 3. To prevent infection and pneumonia, boost your immune system by drinking olive leaf tea, eating shiitake mushrooms, and swallowing at least 2000 IU of vitamin D daily. Vaccinate to help prevent pneumonia before the surgery. To help nattokinase improve your blood circulation, swallow 1000mg to 1200mg of krill oil daily to boost your HDL (good) cholesterol and clean up your clogged arteries. Half of all heart disease victims have a calcified aorta. To reverse a calcified aorta (to remove the calcium), you will need to eat vitamin K2 MK-7 and vitamin K2 MK-8 from the Japanese fermented soybean food called, "natto." One small 3.5oz package of natto contains 1000mcg of MK-7 and almost 100mcg of MK-8. People with type O blood have the least problems with blood clots because their blood is thinnest. People with type B blood (myself included) have the 2nd thinnest blood. People with type A blood and people with type AB blood have the thickest blood and are most likely to benefit from nattokinase, serrapeptase, and/or bromelain. Indeed, people with blood types A and AB have been known to get blood clots in their legs just for sitting several hours during an airplane flight.

So, I've had rotator cuff surgery three times, in addition to tearing both of my biceps. Without question, sports injuries prompted all of that. Many years of volleyball takes its toll.First off, let me say that I'm not a doctor or a scientist but in trying to find ways to help strengthen and regenerate my tendons, I ran across an article that said bromelain and papaya enzymes are active and contribute to the elongation of tendrils, which, apparently, is one of the keys in helping to rebuild and strengthen the tendons. Sold.Now, this is the fifth time that I've ordered this supplement, in addition to papaya (papain) enzymes. Does it help reduce inflammation? Does it help with rebuilding tendons? I don't know but what I do know is that it was an is worth a try, because I want to continue playing volleyball. I take the supplements, I use KT tape for my shoulder and, as I knock on wood, I haven't torn anything in two years.As far as inflammation goes, I don't know about that either. I mean, I'm still sore after playing but I don't know if it would be worse if I didn't take the supplements and truthfully, I don't want to stop taking them to see.The pills are average sized for supplements and the flavor is tasteless, because they're in capsule form and I swallow them with all of the rest of what I take.

Cannot take on empty stomach, tears it up. When taken with food does seem to help digestion which was a bit ironic to find out. No for arthritis pain, I am not seeing a difference. The capsules are a little hard to slide down at times and gets stuck but a bit easier that other supplements I have used. No taste as far as I can tell. I am giving it more time to see if benefits get better but for now it’s just Meh. I gave 4 stars for the seller getting it on time, overall product is 3.

I got injured a year ago and still have SI joint pain in a daily basis. This has been one of the most effective things I have found that I can take consistently, has no bad side effects, and works better than ibuprofen and other NSAIDs. I take it as directed for joint pain - 3x per day, on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before eating. It has improved my life so much - I recommend it to everyone with joint pain or inflammation of any kind. I think it has also improved my headaches. The only thing that I noticed as a side effect is that on occasion I’ll be hungrier than usual. I don’t mind that! It’s worth it because it works great and I am so grateful to be more active again! Can’t recommend highly enough. Try it!
