Understanding the ingredients
Bromelain is an enzyme from pineapple; papain is associated with papaya. Protease is a type of enzyme. Enzyme activity and ingredient weight are different measurements.
Protein Synergy contains a pancreatin-derived protease blend, bromelain and papain. Post-Injectable Capsules contain bromelain, a diosmin-hesperidin blend, rutin and other ingredients.
Centella, boswellia, horse chestnut and grape seed are plant ingredients found in different formulas. A standardized extract may name the amount of a particular plant component.
Ask a pharmacist about ingredient sources, sensitivities and possible medicine interactions. Review the full combination, not just one highlighted ingredient.
