Buy Bromelain – Enzyme Complex from Pineapple

Bromelain is a mixture of protein-splitting enzymes (proteases) that occurs naturally in pineapple. Chemically, it therefore belongs to the class of plant-based enzymes. In this category, you'll find gastro-resistant encapsulated bromelain products from Scheunengut – with a defined enzyme activity, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

Bromelain is mainly obtained from the stem and the flesh of the pineapple (Ananas comosus). The enzyme complex is gently extracted from the plant juice, concentrated and dried, resulting in a standardised raw-material powder.

Standardisation & Format

The amount of bromelain is usually stated not only in milligrams but also via the enzyme activity in F.I.P. or GDU units. Bromelain is mostly available as a capsule, often with a gastro-resistant coating and combined with other enzymes as well as with rutin or selenium.

What to Look for When Buying

Transparently declared enzyme activity (F.I.P. or GDU) instead of a mere milligram figure
Origin from pineapple with traceable extraction
Vegan and free from unnecessary additives
Independently lab-tested quality

Häufige Fragen zu Bromelain

What is bromelain and what is it valued for?

Bromelain is a mixture of protein-digesting enzymes (proteases) that occurs naturally in pineapple. It belongs to the plant-based enzymes and is traditionally valued for enzyme intake. Its protein-splitting enzyme activity is its defining feature, making bromelain a popular component of enzyme complexes.

Why is bromelain enteric-coated?

Bromelain is a sensitive enzyme complex and is vulnerable to stomach acid. An enteric (gastro-resistant) coating protects the enzymes on their way through the stomach, helping their activity to be better preserved. Our bromelain products are therefore enteric-coated, vegan and lab-tested.

What do F.I.P. and GDU units mean?

With bromelain, it's not just the milligram amount that counts, but above all the enzyme activity. This is expressed in F.I.P. or GDU units and shows how active the proteases are. When buying, look specifically for a declared enzyme activity rather than the milligram figure alone.

What is bromelain derived from?

Bromelain is derived mainly from the stem and flesh of the pineapple (Ananas comosus). The enzyme complex is gently extracted from the plant juice, then concentrated and dried. This produces a standardised raw material powder, which is often combined with other enzymes or with rutin.
