Bromelain, is one of a group of proteolytic enzymes (enzymes capable of digesting protein).  Bromelain is known for its ability to break down fibrin and for how it works to help reduce the clumping of platelets.

Several studies have concluded that Bromelain has well-recognized properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic and fibrinolytic affects.^{, 2,3,4}
