Buy Enzymes – Bromelain & More

Q: What are enzymes, and why are they valued?

Enzymes are specialised proteins made of amino acid chains that act as biocatalysts in almost all living organisms. In dietary supplements, bromelain from pineapple and papain from papaya are particularly well known, and are traditionally valued in connection with the processing of food — a fascinating class of substances in their own right within the world of proteins.

Q: Where do the enzymes in this category come from?

Many of the enzymes used come from plant sources: bromelain is obtained from the stem and flesh of the pineapple, papain from papaya. They're gently extracted and then standardised for activity. At Scheunengut you'll find single enzymes such as bromelain, as well as combined enzyme complexes.

Q: How can I recognise a good enzyme product?

A sign of good quality is a transparently stated enzyme activity, usually given in units such as FIP or GDU — the weight in milligrams alone doesn't tell the whole story. Also look for gastro-resistant processing, so the enzyme reaches where it's needed intact.

Q: What forms do enzymes come in?

Enzymes are available as capsules or powder, often gastro-resistant so they pass through the stomach unaffected. Scheunengut's products are standardised, vegan and lab-tested — giving you clearly declared, reliable enzyme quality.

Buy Enzymes – Enzyme Complexes from Plant-Based Sources

Enzymes are specialised proteins made up of chains of amino acids and found in almost all living organisms. As biocatalysts, they form their own class of substances within the proteins. In this category, you'll find enzyme supplements from Scheunengut – including bromelain from pineapple as well as combined enzyme complexes, standardised, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

Many enzymes used in supplements come from plant-based sources: bromelain is obtained from the stem and flesh of the pineapple, papain from the papaya. The enzymes are gently extracted and then adjusted to their activity.

Standardisation & Format

Enzyme activity is usually stated in units such as FIP or GDU – a transparently declared value is a hallmark of good quality. Enzymes are available as capsules or powder, often encapsulated to be gastric-acid resistant and combined with accompanying substances such as rutin or the trace element selenium.

What to Look for When Buying

Transparently declared enzyme activity (e.g. FIP, GDU)
Origin of the raw materials, such as pineapple or papaya
Vegan and without unnecessary additives
Independently lab-tested quality

Enzymes at Scheunengut

We rely on standardised enzyme complexes with clearly declared activity. Related are the building blocks amino acids and the enzyme nattokinase. All products are bottled in Germany and lab-tested.
