Per capsule, it has 275,000 FCCPU Bromelain and 200,000 FCCPU Papain. I purchased the Vital-Zymes Forte at the end of October, 2000. Maybe your bottle is a different version?

You are right Carolyn, the Vital Zyme Forte has BOTH papain and bromelain. I had checked the site before I posted but apparently didn't scroll Aaaaaaallllllllll the way down the page and see it.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 This is definitely a Devin-tech-question but he is traveling and may not be available online for a few days. It could be intolerance or die-off actually (I know..no real help there). Bromelain, papain, and actinidin are composed of amino acids that have a higher percentage of sulfur containing amino acide than other enzymes. It has something to due with the total sulfur content. There is no added sulfur, just more sulfur atoms in total. Also, the fruit derived enzymes may not be as 'pure' and contain some fruit- type properties. The guideline about the 'fruity' enzymes comes heavily from experience...people that have problems with phenols/fruits are more likely to have problems with these enzymes. Although by no means does this mean that everyone with phenol sensitivies have problems with them. A bunch of people do just fine. But there is a sub-group, if you will, that does much better with out the fruity 'zymes. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Bromelain works on assorted proteins, so you can try it with any proteins. Bacteria, good and bad, consist of proteins too. So bromelain can work against adverse bacteria but to what extent is something you will need to determine on a personal level. For enzymes to work on food, take enzymes with meals. For enzymes to work on other goals (like Klebsella), take enzymes between meals. hope this helps. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Is bromain another term for bromelain, or are you just misspelling it? That is the enzyme Dr. D recommends as one of the anti-inflammatory protocols for type O's. He says to decrease the dose as you get better.... Gretchen RE: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome I take Vitamin B-6 for my arthritis. Keeps me pain free. I would keep on taking it. What I did was cut back until I started to feel pain again, then upped my dose a little and have continued with the B-6 along with a balanced B-complex ever since. I'm very interested in the Bromain in conjunction with the B-6. What is it? Richmond, Virginia What I am wondering is should I continue as a preventative or should I stop and see what happens and resume if it comes back. Does anyone know?

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 You're right. I am just mispelling it. I didn't know if it was acceptable for O's or not, but am glad that it is.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Dottie, If you go to our website under " supplements " , everything listed there has a minimum of 80 positive, documented PUBMED reports attached to it for cancer properties of one form or another. That was how I decided what to use for myself was to search for things that had legit scientific research tied to them. My cutoff of at least 50 before I would consider it. Some of them go as high as 350 reports. If so inclined, add them individually to your links. Regards, Bruce Guilmette, Ph.D. Survive Cancer Foundation, Inc.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 After taking Bromelain and Minocin for two years and after being assured on several occasions by my naturopath at the time that it was fine to take the two, a pharmacist read to me from his PDR that bromelain speeds up the excretion of Minocin from the body. Needless to say, I stopped the Bromelain. rheumatic Bromelain Has anyone ever tried Bromelain with their antibiotic therapy?

They have just launched their winter range of styles too.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 You could also eat loads of fresh pineapple which is where the enzyme comes from yummy I use Reebok Classics for my PF, if I don't after a few walkabouts I cannot walk, however I can if I wear 'real' Crocs. Also Kangaroos trainer shoes are quite good. I am interested in other brands thanks for the link :)Now my husband has PF so I have no idea if it is thyroid or Vt D with him, his TSH was near 1.0 but as we know that doesn't always mean owt. Glad you do at least have something that makes life tolerable for you in your wardrobe luv Dawnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi Dawn, thanks for this, pineapples grow here and are really plentiful... and cheap, thing is...... I don't like it that much, yes I have a bit on my morning cereal, but that is enough for me so would like to take the supplement instead.. what is Reebok Classics? are they shoes? or do Reebok so supplements? Umm I just could not live without my FlitFlops and when I get over to the UK will be getting some of their new boots to wear over there... All the best - Carol x > > You could also eat loads of fresh pineapple which is where the enzyme comes from yummy > > I use Reebok Classics for my PF, if I don't after a few walkabouts I cannot walk, however I can if I wear 'real' Crocs. > Also Kangaroos trainer shoes are quite good. > I am interested in other brands thanks for the link :)Now my husband has PF so I have no idea if it is thyroid or Vt D with him, his TSH was near 1.0 but as we know that doesn't always mean owt. > > Glad you do at least have something that makes life tolerable for you in your wardrobe > > luv Dawnx > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
