Just so you know what this is for: Bromelain is an enzyme derived from the stem of pineapples that aids in digestion of protein, has an anti-inflammatory effect and it increases the uptake of other compounds when taken together. So, it is good to take before and after training to increase uptake of aminos and help with soreness. There are no side effects unless you are allergic to it. One study showed that Bromelain decreased the amount of damage to muscles caused by training and allowed them to exert a greater amount of force after three days due to the greater amount of intact muscle fibers.
Other supplements that help with recovery include: glutamine, vitamin e and c, hmb |
