Classified as an herb, bromelain is a digestive enzyme that comes from the stem and the fruit of the pineapple plant. Although it has been suggested that bromelain may help treat Peyronie's disease, scientific evidence is currently lacking in this area. A firm conclusion cannot be reached at this time. Avoid if allergic to bromelain, pineapple, honeybee, venom, latex, birch pollen, carrots, celery, fennel, cypress pollen, grass pollen, papain, rye flour, wheat flour, or other members of the Bromeliaceae family. Avoid with liver disease, kidney disease, or bleeding disorders. Use cautiously with bleeding disorders, stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, or acute genitourinary tract inflammation. Use cautiously before dental or surgical procedures or while driving or operating machinery. Use cautiously in children younger than two years of age. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding, due to a lack of safety evidence. Read more
